 Keyboard Driver for Linux 


# How can I run this program?

Follow these steps to test the driver:

Compile "chardev_leds.c" file 

You can use the makefile I provide you. In the directory where files are located, type:

```

make

```

Insert "chardev_leds.ko" in the Kernel

```

sudo insmod chardev_leds.ko

```

Create a new device file managed by the driver

```

sudo mknod -m 666 /dev/leds c 243 0

```

We can check if we did these steps well, typing:

```

cat /dev/leds

```

This command will print a message

Compile "leds_user.c" file

```

gcc -Wall -g leds_user.c -o leds_user

```

Run it

```

sudo ./leds_user

```



  


    

    

  
      


# When you don't want to test this driver any more:

Remove "chardev_leds.ko" from the Kernel

```

sudo rmmod chardev_leds

```

Remove "/dev/leds"

```

sudo rm -r /dev/leds

```
