Re: Gpio interrupt shall pass the signal to application

[jeshwanth Kumar N K]

Actually what I am doing is, I have 3 inputs to beaglebone from  BLDC motor hall sensor. If there is any change in any of 3 inputs, the kernel module has to send signal to my beaglebone. From the interrupt my application reads the input from sysfs and pass the next sequence to pwm. PWM I am using userspace only. 
So is my design right for handling fast input change, I mean 50 micro seconds ? Any suggestion ? I am new to device driver concept, please suggest.
Thanks :)

What kind of information need to be transmitted from your device to the
application?
