Cygwin has no idea about device drivers. The /dev devices in Cygwin are just POSIX layer fakes on top of standard Win32 functions. `mknod' doesn't work in Cygwin. If you're really writing a device driver, you have two ways to go: - If it's a device driver for a functionality which is already available using Win32 calls and you just want to use it in Cygwin, look into the Cygwin sources and contribute a new fhandler_dev_foo. - If you're writing a real, low level device driver, you have to use Microsoft's DDK and MSDN to write e.g. a WDM driver. This is completely out of Cygwin's focus.
