The 'Copy someone elses' idea will get me to an end, but I have to convince my team of engineers/architects that the LinuxDVB is the future; and currently I cannot find any documentation on the .fops, calling conventions, execution order (what is the dependency order of devices) and such. I would like to promote the understanding of the driver, and not blindly hack someone else's creations. (Hacking code causes maintenance problems later on) I am currently using a proprietary API that was developed originally for NeucleusOS that works, and now would like to move to a Linux standard type system. (Moving from a Working API to an unknown API is a risk) Are there any architecture/API documentation on how the driver is implemented, even pseudo-code would be useful. (Call is 'The Anatomy of the DVB driver' if you will) Best Regards, Richard -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
