Device Driver Documentation

Documentation to aid programmers in writing device drivers for Tru64 UNIX is packaged in a separately orderable Device Driver Kit (DDK). This documentation was produced by Compaq writers working closely with the device driver developers.

This kit (Version 2.0, part number QA-6ADAV-A8) contains a CD-ROM that includes the Tru64 UNIX Device Driver sample drivers, driver development tool (code template generator), documentation in HTML and PDF formats, and printed installation instructions and release notes.

You can obtain printed copies of the documentation by ordering the Tru64 UNIX Device Driver Documentation Kit (part number QA-6ADAV-GZ).

The rest of this section describes the books in the DDK. This information is provided here because of the close relationship between the device driver documentation and the Tru64 UNIX documentation set.

______________________ Note _______________________

The Device Driver Kit is produced independently of the Tru64 UNIX operating system. The following descriptions are for Version 2 (December 2000) of the Device Driver Kit, which supports Tru64 UNIX Version V5.0A and higher. For information about this kit, visit the following Web site:

Writing Device Drivers

This manual contains information that systems engineers need when writing a device driver for hardware that runs on the Tru64 UNIX operating system. This manual replaces the manual Writing Device Drivers: Tutorial. It includes the chapter on funnels and the chapter on how to write disk device drivers that were previously part of manual named Writing Device Drivers: Advanced Topics.

This manual also provides a glossary of device driver terms.
