Hi,
I am playing with OMAP 5910 based Amstrad E3 videophone (ams-delta) machine. I am trying to expose GPIO 4, that hook switch hangs off, to userspace.
I can successfully access the pin by exporting it using gpiolib sysfs. I can check its value, following hook switch state changes. However, I would like the switch to generate events.
I have tried two methods: gpio-switch and gpio-keys. gpio-switch device is able to report the switch initial state correctly, gpio-keys device just initializes without errors. However, for both methods, after first switch change, the system stops responding, giving no error messages.
The code of goip-switch initialization sequence together with my platform device definition (attached) does not look any different to me than those for keyboard or modem (patches available from http://the.earth.li/pub/e3/2.6.19/), that both also use GPIO interrupts and do work for me.
Any hints?
Janusz
PS. This is my first post to linux-omap list, I don't know if you accept attachments. If not, next time I switch to a different mail user agent that allows me for inline file inclusion (or learn how to do it in my thunderbird).

Maybe this is a little off topic. But have you thought about using inotify to monitor events?
http://inotify.aiken.cz/?section=inotify&page=faq&lang=en
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-inotify.html
I believe it can be used for any fs including sysfs? No?
Just a thought...

No, not for sysfs. According to http://www.nabble.com/sysfs-and-inotify-td23021094.html, select() or poll() would do.
Anyway, thanks. Janusz

Hi,
I have found that one of the patches, keyboard or modem, from http://the.earth.li/pub/e3/2.6.19, break gpio interrupt handling (as Jonathan McDowell said*, he found it conflicted with the FIQ keyboard patch). Without them, both gpio-switch and gpio-keys versions of a platform device for ams-delta hook switch do work for me. I can try to provide patches against omap git tree if there is any interest.
Thanks, Janusz

Please don't use the gpio-switch any longer, that is not in the mainline and will disappear.
There has been some discussion on LKML on doing it via the input layer. No other tips right now from me :)
