missing udev events

[Akar]

Hi,

I am new to udev.

I am using i.MX35 eval board with LTIB and kernel 2.6.31.

I have cross compiled udev-142 for i.MX35.

Then i copied "udevadm" to the board and executed as below

    ./udevadm monitor

After this i plugged and unplugged the USB pendrive to USB hostport of the board. I was expecting the udev events and kernel events to happen and display messages accordingly.

But i was able to see only the kernel events happening no udev events happened.

I think i am missing something for udev events to trigger may be udev rules or something.

Please let me know what am i missing.

Below are the messages what I get. I get only kernel events not udevevents

root@freescale ~$ ./udevadm_142 monitor

monitor will print the received events for:

UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing

KERNEL - the kernel uevent

KERNEL[282033.257775] remove   /devices/platform/fsl-ehci.0/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0 (usb)

KERNEL[282033.258096] remove   /class/usb_device/usbdev1.4 (usb_device)

KERNEL[282033.258313] remove   /devices/platform/fsl-ehci.0/usb1/1-1 (usb)

KERNEL[282035.367465] add      /devices/platform/fsl-ehci.0/usb1/1-1 (usb)

KERNEL[282035.367743] add      /devices/platform/fsl-ehci.0/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0 (usb)

KERNEL[282035.367936] add      /class/usb_device/usbdev1.5 (usb_device)

I think you can close the "question" of this topic....

It looks like your udev is properly installed. It makes me wonder if the rule is OK as well.

What would be the expected udev behavior for USB plug/unplug?

Or, in other words, where is the USB rule?

[Akar]

I got the problem.

Actually udevd daemon running was of older version that is 117 and I was using version 142. so I compiled udevd of version 142 and started running on my board after that I am getting udev events.

[daiane_angolini]

Great!

[daiane_angolini]

It looks like you have the right rule files.

Can you see any udev deamon? Use ps | grep udev and see if there is any udevd running

I´m not sure if I undestand your problem.

You can see kernel events, but udev does not take any action for it. Is that right?

Could you, please, share your rules file? It used to be 10-imx.rules or something like that.

[Akar]

Hi Daiane,

yes you are correct I can see kernel events but not udev. I have attached the 10-imx.rules.

I see some more rules files like

05-udev-early.rules

60-persistent-storage-tape.rules

60-persistent-storage.rules

40-alsa.rules

65-automount.rules

50-udev-default.rules

80-drivers.rules

60-persistent-input.rules

95-udev-late.rules

when are these rules files used I am new to this udev. can you please explain me about these rule files.

Thanks a lot for your quick response. I really don’t know anything about this.
