    <p>Hi Joel,</p>
    <p>until now, I did not receive any answer from Daniel. I do not
      know if my feedback has been taken into account, maybe for other
      users if they have the same issue.</p>
    <p>Nevertheless, the fix seems to work fine with no apparent side
      effects.</p>
    <p>Regards,</p>

              <p>Hello,</p>
              <p>By using the APB Uart BSP on a SPARC LEON3 target, I
                think that I have found something which seems to be
                incorrect.</p>
              <p>In my RTEMS app, I just want to receive data through
                the UART1. Such data are then echoed on the same
                interface.</p>
              <p>When I want to open the '/dev/apbuart1' descriptor, I
                get a 'No such file or directory' error message. I get
                the same error message whatever is the descriptor I try
                to open ('/dev/apbuart0', ...).</p>
              <p>I am using the driver manager and I have defined the
                CONFIGURE_DRIVER_AMBAPP_<wbr>GAISLER_APBUART to have the
                driver manager create the device descriptors. However,
                the descriptors are not created.</p>
              <p>I had a look at the content of the following file :</p>
              <p>U:\rtems\src2\rtems\c\src\lib\<wbr>libbsp\sparc\shared\uart\<wbr>apbuart_cons.c</p>
              <p>On line #278, the if statement does not explicitly test
                the value returned by the call to function
                'drvmgr_get_dev_prefix()'.</p>
              <p>Since such function returns 0 in case of success, the
                content of the if statement is never executed.
                Consequently, the variable 'priv->devName' is never
                initialized to the right string '/dev/apbuart%d', it is
                always empty which seems to explain why the device
                descriptor is not not created.</p>
              <p>I have slightly modified the test with the following
                code :</p>
              <pre>if (drvmgr_get_dev_prefix(dev, prefix) != -1)
{
...
}
</pre>
              <p>I explicitly test the returned value against -1 (which
                is considered as an error). With that code, the
                '/dev/apbuartX' device descriptors are successfully
                created and communicate with the UART.</p>
              <p>So is it a known bug ? Will it be fixed in the next
                releases ? Is the way I fixed it correct, or no ?</p>
              <p>Such fix works for me but are there some side effects
                that shall be taken into account ?</p>
              <p>Thanks for your answers,</p>
              <p>Regards,</p>
