Howdy, I am fairly new to device drivers and this list, but I'm sure someone in here can help me.
First, some background. I am working on device drivers for a FPGA that is currently running kernel 2.6.28, because it is an FPGA I can add custom hardware. The custom hardware I currently have is very simple- just a multiplier- for a proof of concept. Currently I have a char device driver written for it that will take in ascii and multiply its ascii value by another ascii value. Eg. 0x0=char(0)*char(0)=48*48. This isn't really what I want, I want a device driver that can read in two 32 bit numbers and return a 32 bit number. So, can I write integers/longs to a character device driver? Is there a better way to do this?
