Hello Vishwas, thanks for your reply. But I don not have a /proc/device-tree at all. I solved the problem by writing a appropriate node into the .dts-file and recompile the whole kernel. I exchanged also "xilinx,cpld-led" with "cpld-led". After that it worked. Regards /Chris
Hi Chris, probably you can do cat /proc/device-tree o/p to see if such a node exist in the device tree file. also you can check arch/ppc/boot/dts/ directory and check the .dts file to check if such an entry really exist in the .dts file which you are using.
Since in your case np = of_find_compatible_node(NULL,NULL, "xilinx,cpld-led"); returns NULL, its a sign that the entry does not exist in the .dts file your system is using. thnaks, Vishwas S
Hello out there, I got a problem with the kernel function "of_find_compatible_node". I use it with: np = of_find_compatible_node(NULL,NULL, "xilinx,cpld-led"); or with np = of_find_compatible_node(NULL,NULL, "cpld-led"); but none of this works, because I get a null-pointer back. But it suppose to work? The target is a PPC-walnut-board. Which is the mechanism behind this function, which namespace is parsed in order to detect devices on the board? Can I parse the whole namespace in order to list up all devices?
What else can I do to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance...
Regards /chris
