Touchscreen Input Device with RTEMS (evdev)

[furkan bodur]

Firstly thanks for replies,

As I said there is no input folder in /dev path here is the output,

SHLL [/] # ls -las /dev/input

/dev/input: No such file or directory

Here is what I did for use libbsd and evdev,
I builded rtems-freebsd with this,
$ ./waf configure --prefix="$HOME/development/rtems/5"
--rtems-bsps=arm/beagleboneblack
--buildset=buildset/default.ini
$ ./waf
$ ./waf install

Even so, when I realize that there is no input.h or evdev.h file in rtems
includes , I changed some values in the libbsd.py file. Here the things I
changed,
I added 'freebsd/sys/dev' and 'freebsd/sys/dev/evdev' paths to
include-paths.
I added 'freebsd/sys/dev/evdev' path to header-paths.

After that, I did waf again and here is the outputs;

$ ./waf
...
[1519/1939] Compiling freebsd/sys/dev/evdev/evdev.c
...

./waf install
...
+ install
/home/furkan/development/rtems/5/arm-rtems5/beagleboneblack/lib/include/dev/evdev/evdev.h
(from freebsd/sys/dev/evdev/evdev.h)
+ install
/home/furkan/development/rtems/5/arm-rtems5/beagleboneblack/lib/include/dev/evdev/input-event-codes.h
(from freebsd/sys/dev/evdev/input-event-codes.h)
+ install
/home/furkan/development/rtems/5/arm-rtems5/beagleboneblack/lib/include/dev/evdev/input.h
(from freebsd/sys/dev/evdev/input.h)
...

I'm not sure if this is the right way to use evdev. This is how my
application compiles without errors but still there is no /dev/input file.
