</div>Thanks,<br>
<br>
I did not, but now added -DDEBUG. The exact line is:<br>
CFLAGS_my_module.o := -DDEBUG<br>
when "my_module.o" is my object file. Did I get that right?<br>
<br>
That doesn't change anything unfortunately. I can not read pr_debug()<br>
unless I<br>
explicitely activate it in /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control<br>
*after* insmod.<br>
<br>
I'd like to just read all pr_debug() messages like pr_info().<br>
<br>
thanks for your time!<br>
