Proposal for Hardware Driver Detection Project (HDD) Purpose: The primary purpose of this tool is designed for opensolaris. It has the following functions: 1. Display device information and device driver information on the system. 2. Check the device driver availability on IPS. 3. Dynamically add device driver from IPS. 4. Report system configurations to the OpenSolaris community.
List of Community Groups Sponsoring the project: Indiana Device Driver List of project team members: Tony Hu Sun employee Zhong Yuan Sun Sun employee Bill Yan Sun employee Project Description: The purpose of this project is to offer the ability to verify device driver support for the system against driver packages available via the OpenSolaris community and be able to dynamically add driver support to the running Live CD environment when requested by the user. The user will have the option of reporting system configurations back to the OpenSolaris community in this tool, for use in constructing a community hardware compatibility lists. Project Needs: This project requires project space on OpenSolaris.org site. The project also requires a mailing list. Suggested list name is hdd at opensolaris.org. Related Projects: Unknown. Related past activities: The prototype of this tool is ready now. _______________________________________________ driver-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/driver-discuss
