Trace

[Sébastien Chrétien]

I found where is the failure with your advices
In init_dev (tty_io.c), init_dev calls "tty = driver->ttys[idx]"
after this call, tty value is : tty = 0x57555541

Have I to initialize driver->ttys in my driver. If yes, how have I to
Initialize this ?

The driver tty is used in order to have a console on my serial port.
Thanks for your help
