| |
I have my field-bus-card (mcat/bitbus) up and running (as far as hardware-configuration and detection is concerned) and want to implement the fieldbus-protocol now.
Of cause I want to use the kernel's infrastructure for queueing of packages and stuff. But for the ease of coding I want to have the protocol implemented in a library in user-space. I want the kernel-driver to just receive and transmit the packages. How can I implement the hooks for passing the packages up to user-land and process them further?
Untill now I used the ethernet setup stuff. But since my card uses (kind of) RS485-serial protocol I will have to change that, too.
what do I need to watch out for if I want to ensure that I can do mcat over tcp/tp later? or is this just to much for now?
