Permissions¶
Some modules talk to Linux device nodes (for example, /dev/doly_lcd) or sysfs entries.
If a module works as root but not as a user, it is usually a permissions problem. We have already added the doly user to the custom doly group. If you plan to add a new user to your system to interact with Linux device nodes, please follow the instructions below.
Recommended approach¶
- Use udev rules to assign a group and permissions to Doly devices
- Add your user to the appropriate group (often
video,dialout, or a customdolygroup)
