[Syllable-kernel] (no subject)

[Vandervliet, K. <Kri...@an...>]

As promised, here is part of what will be a series on writing and=0D=0Aport=
ing device=0D=0Adrivers for Syllable. This first chapter covers the basics:=
 what is a=0D=0Adevice=0D=0Adriver, how does the kernel manage drivers, how=
 a driver interacts with=0D=0ADevFS=0D=0Aand how to debug your driver. Also=
 included is a complete example driver=0D=0Awhich=0D=0Aimplements the topic=
s under discussion, which you can compile, install=0D=0Aand=0D=0Aexperiment=
 with.=0D=0A=0D=0APart 1 is also available from=0D=0Ahttp://www.liqwyd.com/=
syllable/Drivers_Part1.zip=0D=0A=0D=0APart 2 will focus on the theory behin=
d ethernet drivers on Syllable and=0D=0Abegin=0D=0Ato show how to port an e=
thernet NIC driver from Linux.=0D=0A=0D=0AThe eventual goal is twofold: fir=
st, I will merge this with the existing=0D=0A"Writing kernel device drivers=
"[1] and "Writing appserver video=0D=0Adrivers"[2]=0D=0Adocumentation.  Sec=
ond, it will form a complete "Book" on writing device=0D=0Adrivers=0D=0Afor=
 Syllable, with in-depth information and examples.=0D=0A=0D=0AFor now, you =
are encouraged to read Part 1 alongside the existing=0D=0A"Writing=0D=0Aker=
