Re: [MiNT] Using device files in "/dev" from kernel space

No, I don't think so. From what I could see until now under MiNT you
can't export functions between kernel modules (KM). This is one of the
reasons why I'm asking about using a pseudo-device from kernel space,
to workaround these limitations.

I think there must be an clean way to do it. Look at the networking stack... there we have: hardware drivers (.xif), protocol drivers (inet4.xdd) & socket API

I guess the modules must register themselves within the other layers somehow. Do you know how they do it?
