<br>
I am trying to test a dummy UIO driver to get timer interrupt events<br>
in Userspace.<br>
<br>
I register the UIO driver as a platform driver:<br>
<br>
static struct platform_device *uio_dummy_device;<br>
<br>
static struct device_driver uio_dummy_driver = {<br>
        .name           = &quot;uio_dummy&quot;,<br>
        .bus            = &amp;platform_bus_type,<br>
        .probe          = uio_dummy_probe,<br>
        .remove         = uio_dummy_remove,<br>
        .shutdown       = uio_dummy_shutdown,<br>
};<br>
<br>
/*<br>
 * Main initialization/remove routines<br>
 */<br>
static int __init uio_dummy_init(void)<br>
{<br>
        printk(&quot;uio_dummy_init( )\n&quot; );<br>
        uio_dummy_device = platform_device_register_simple(&quot;uio_dummy&quot;, -1,<br>
                                                           NULL, 0);<br>
        if (IS_ERR(uio_dummy_device))<br>
                return PTR_ERR(uio_dummy_device);<br>
<br>
        return driver_register(&amp;uio_dummy_driver);<br>
}<br>
<br>
So after the driver_register() My probe should be called but it isn&#39;t.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>yes but did you register the device in your device tree or your boot file? </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
Why is this happening.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
