Description

To verify the firmware is working properly (before trying to run XBMC) I need some tools for verifying the installation. Right now xbmc suggests that /dev/vchiq is not configured properly. Here are some selected lines from an strace of the xbmc.bin executable:

open("/dev/vchiq", O_RDWR) = -1 ENOTCONN (Transport endpoint is not connected)
open("/dev/vchiq", O_RDWR) = -1 ENOTCONN (Transport endpoint is not connected)
write(1, "* failed to open vchiq instance\n", 32) = 32

I'd like to have some tool I can run to verify that the firmware is properly configured along with the device driver, which is compiled into the kernel (not a loadable module) at this point.

It's not clear where to ask this question, but I suspect a good place to start is in the Power Users forum.
