Pounding away since 1984.
I'm booting uClinux on a development board (Altera DE2) and I'm having a hard time getting the board's LCD display to work with Linux. The device is being recognized as a char device and it appears as "250 LCD_PIO" in /proc/devices (250 being the major number and LCD_PIO being the device name in the driver source). However it doesn't appear in /dev, though there are many tty devices listed. How can I access this LCD display? Is it possible to bind it to one of the tty devices listed, or to find out which one it's already bound to? Any help is much appreciated :)
