A professor here is interested in having his class write a simple device driver for his class this semester. Some initial ideas I had for this would be to have it be as a KLD, so they would not have to reboot the machines to test their code (PANICs aside ;). The other idea was to have them write a 'real' driver instead of a virtual one (something that had hardware and interupts to go with it.); I had thought of writing an extreamly simple serial device. All of this would be with giving the students substantial documentation and stub functions to help them get started. I am looking for feedback, and hopefully a little help :). Is the example is /usr/share/examples/... a good starting point? -- David Cross To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
