Hello my name is François, Currently I work with imx6dl sabre. I want handle GPIO interrupts in userspace on linux with UIO.

I add in dts file

/ {

user_io {

  compatible = "generic-uio";

  status = "okay";

  interrupt-parent=<&gpio7>;

  interrupts = <12 2>;

         pinctrl-names = "default";

  pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_hog_3>;

  };

};

and I add uio_pdrv_genirq.of_id=generic-uio in bootarg.

and I add config CONFIG_UIO=y
CONFIG_UIO_PDRV_GENIRQ=y in my kernel.

But after boot my  /sys/class/uio directory is empty and I have not node /dev/uio0.

I don't understand why I have not node /dev/uio0.

Can you help me please.

Best Regards

François.

uio_pdrv_genirq.of_id=mydevice,generic-uio,ui_pdrv

Hello I tried modprobe command.

And I have the error :

uio_pdrv_genirq: `mydevice,generic-uio,ui_pdrv' invalid for parameter `of_id'

modprobe: can't load module uio_pdrv_genirq (kernel/drivers/uio/uio_pdrv_genirq.ko): Invalid argument

Can you help me please.

Best regards

François.
