Re: Cannot open AMP device: File exist

Hi and thanks for the advise, Claas.  I installed the untilities and they 
seem to work.  I do have a follow-up question though.

I am able to execute pmud command as root but not as a regular user.  Why? 
Is it as matter of changing the permission of /dev/pmu?

Thanks,
