[ColdFire] mcf5485 GPIO Linux Driver Can't Post

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,
I am using Freescale 2.6.10 PCS Linux and the Logic
5485EVB and would like to get the leds and pushbuttons
hooked to GPIO working. Freescale has not done any
work on a gpio driver yet and I'm wondering if anyone
out there has that would be willing to share...

Thanks!
Tom

I thought the Logic BSP was for a 2.4.x kernel. Will
the driver work with the 2.6.10 kernel I am using?

Thanks,
Tom

I'm not sure, but it can't hurt to look it over...

Peter,
I checked through the source and don't see the driver
file for coldfire gpio. I see an au1000 gpio driver
which I have used before in another life but nothing
for the 5485 in the drivers/char directory. Do you
know what the filename is or even device name so I can
grep?

Thanks,
Tom

IIRC its in example/driver/fire-engine-leds.c as an example of
building a driver module outside of the kernel source tree. The
example app in example/app/example-led-app.c invokes the LED driver to
turn on/off/blink/flash the LEDs on the EVB, or the single LED on the
Lite baseboard.

[hhx]

according to the gpio driver & example descripted below

IIRC its in example/driver/fire-engine-leds.c as an example of
building a driver module outside of the kernel source tree. The
example app in example/app/example-led-app.c invokes the LED driver to
turn on/off/blink/flash the LEDs on the EVB, or the single LED on the

Does any one knows where to find it?
