*********************************************************************************
然后可以寫一個簡單的內(nèi)核模塊的Makefile,編譯make后生成mycdev.ko文件，insmod mycdev.ko，
裝上我們自己的驅(qū)動，注意有可能在裝的時候提示說device busy什么的，這就是我們前面指定的主設(shè)備號現(xiàn)在
有設(shè)備在用，我們就在重新指定一個在編譯。
那怎么看有那些設(shè)備呢？可以用cat /proc/devices,就可以查看已經(jīng)有哪些主設(shè)備號已被占用。

然后就可以自己先創(chuàng)建一個虛擬的字符設(shè)備mknod /dev/mycdev c 250 0

******************************************************
下面就可以自己寫一個應(yīng)用程序來看我們自己的字符設(shè)備驅(qū)動是否OK。

#include stdio.h>
#include fctl.h>
#include string.h>
#include sys/stat.h>

#define BUFFERSIZE 200

int main( void )
{
int fp = 0 ;
char str[BUFFERSIZE];

fp = open( "/dev/mycdev", O_RDWR, S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR );
if ( !fp )
{
printf("Open device failedn");
return -1;
}

write( fp, "Hello, my devices", strlen("Hello, my devices") );

lseek( fp, 0, 0 );/*修改字符設(shè)備里字符數(shù)組的位置，將字符數(shù)據(jù)位置設(shè)到開始的位置，不然下面的read操作將讀不到數(shù)據(jù)*/

read( fp, str, BUFFERSIZE );

printf("Read content: %sn", str );

close(fp);
}

gcc -o sample sample.c

最后運行./sample

應(yīng)該會輸出：Read content: Hello, my devices

總結(jié)一下，我個人覺得字符設(shè)備驅(qū)動相關(guān)的API和數(shù)據(jù)結(jié)構(gòu)。
1. struct cdev 一個設(shè)備對應(yīng)一個這個的數(shù)據(jù)結(jié)構(gòu)，結(jié)構(gòu)體是重要的兩個字段ops 和dev(設(shè)備號)
2. struct file_opertions 文件操作結(jié)構(gòu)體
3. cdev_init(struct cdev *, struct file_opertions *) 主要就是把字符設(shè)備和對這個設(shè)備的文件操作結(jié)構(gòu)體對應(yīng)起來
4. cdev_add(struct cdev *, dev_t, unsigned) 注冊設(shè)備
5. register_chrdev_region(dev_t, unsigned, const char *name)/alloc_chrdev_region() 申請設(shè)備號，為注冊設(shè)備（cdev_add()）準(zhǔn)備
6. 就是內(nèi)核空間的數(shù)據(jù)和用戶空間的數(shù)據(jù)交換
