RE: Character Device and Adding /dev/js0 to the Modules List

[Mala Dies]

Hello,

I have been reading and I want to announce it. It seems w/ the newest kernel from https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2019-05-27/buster-iot/ for the IoT image of the BBBW, the character device is now the most prevalent file system to use under /dev.

I have also been reading this bunch of text:

• https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/admin-guide/devices.txt
  

and...

• https://linux-kernel-labs.github.io/master/labs/device_drivers.html
  

Besides that idea, I came to the conclusion that under 15 char on the github.com repo from above is a digital controller that we can add to our modules list at /dev/djs0.

/dev/djs0 is the actual digital joystick.

P.S. If you are knowing of how I can produce this module on my board w/out CC (cross compiling), please join in. If not, join in anyway.

Hello,

Okay...so I may have mistaken ideas for much-needed-trials/testing.

...

Anyway...do not worry about the /dev/djs0 module b/c I think I can use digital joysticks w/out this module. Aw?

P.S. If you are using the character device file system instead of sysfs, please join in. Ideas circulating can only help our cause. Cause!
