Hi All, Please find my Project homepage here. [1] This week I have worked on more drivers. I got time to convert ath, aacraid, ahci, an, bwn, bwi, ale. I have touched a couple of harder drivers. [2] I have added the Plug and Play information for them and found them to be used by devmatch to match them with modules automatically. There were some kernel build issues, especially for drivers which had more than one table. I have solved the issues by adding multiple PNP info tags with unique names. There is one problem though. Currently in MODULE_PNP_INFO description string, we only support upto 32 bit variables. We need to be able to support upto 64 bit variables. (uint64_t type). I will discuss with my mentor regarding this. In a couple of drivers I have added tables and modified the probe function. At the same time, I am also learning the internals of the kernel, this will help our goal ultimately - Automatic module loading. [3] Thank you, Lakhan [1] https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCode2018Projects/ConvertPCIdriverAttachmentsToTables [2] https://github.com/bsdimp/freebsd/pull/3/files [3] http://bsdimp.blogspot.in/2016/01/details-on-coming-automatic-module.htmlhelp
