led_blink segmentation fault in instructables Embedded Linux Tutorial Zybo

Question

Posted

Hello,

I am still working on  Embedded Linux Tutorial Zybo http://www.instructables.com/id/Embedded-Linux-Tutorial-Zybo/, and I get a segmentation fault on the C blink code where puts  is writing to the /proc/myled

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(){
	FILE *fp;
	while(1){
                 printf("open /proc/myled 1\n");
		fp = fopen("/proc/myled", "w");
		if (fp=NULL){
                   printf("cannot open /proc/myled for write\b");
                   return -1;
                }
                printf("fputs 0x0F\n");
                fputs("0x0F\n", fp);  //SEGMENTATION FAULT HAPPENS HERE
                printf("fclose 1\n");
                fclose(fp);
                sleep(1);  

In the myled driver I put some printk to see which functions get called. When using the blink.c, the proc_myled_write never even runs. 

 

When I interact with the driver without the C code using  echo "0x05\n" >> /proc/myled in the terminal, the proc_myled_write runsthere is no segmentation fault and the LEDs change state.

 zynq> echo "0x05\n" >> /proc/myled
proc_myled_open
proc_myled_open single_open
proc_myled_open end
proc_myled_write:

Hello @jpeyron,

Thanks. I will put together a comprehensive post covering my notes of little changes I needed in all the previous the steps of the tutorial to make work. These are due to packages that were not inside my Ubuntu distro, or changes on where to get certain files.

hello @toastedcpu,

Can you tell me which tool version you are using for this tutorial? I completed it long time ago and wanted to review it recently. However, it seems like I do no longer have that cross-compile part :( I am working on Vivado/SDK 2017.4. Back then it might have been 2017.2, I think.

It seems like arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi is not installed on my machine:
