12 years agoSlacker, you may have nailed it ...
I was thinking of adding soem other dev that was not dma to see it just DMA was not in the dev list . I checked the DMA read master port with respect to the NIOS II data port and it wasn't connected. I will conect it and re-try to see it I can open the /dev/dma_0 and that it appears in system.h BTW can you say what devices will appear in the llist of devices .. I saw an empty list as the next pointed to the head and the associated string was NULL. It looks like the JTAGUART , Timer etc... don't need to be opened to use .. does that imply that they don't show up in the dev list . Thanks for the help. Bob.
