It would be great. We can talk about it by email. Regarding to my USB device, it is a mp3 player based on compact flash. I would like to create a char device driver to implement the classical read/write/open/close/ioctl syscalls. I am still reading and searching for information to create the driver but I think that there is a lack of information about this topic. What do you think about? If we make the driver, it would be interesting to create some docs for other BSD device driver writers... > BTW is there a USB team in FreeBSD ? I have been talking with Nick Hibma, he has a USB-freebsd homepage, in fact there is a mailing list. He told me that there is no doc/paper that explain the structs/macros to develope usb drivers. We will have to read code from other drivers which will be more complicated but that is the only solution... ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You can get to it from the "other docs" page. Here is the USB section: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/usb.html Beyond that, the source of other drivers will be what you need.

usb device driver skeleton?
Hi all: I want to port a linux device driver that I did to *BSD. I would like to know if there is some source of information to develope usb device drivers in freebsd. Handbook talks about usb in general, an about device drivers but not about usb device drivers. My last option is to read some usb DD already coded but before that I would like know if there is some other "beginner" source of information. Thanks in advance... this list rocks.
