Hi guys,
The next BOSUG meeting will be held this Saturday (Oct 28 2006).
The main agenda is a talk on Device Drivers by Pavan T C.
This is what Pavan has to say about the talk:
"We will try and understand how a driver is attached to a device
at system boot up. We will be typically looking at a PCI based
system and PCI based protocols. If there is enough time and
interest, we will also take look at the different categories of
devices (USB and SCSI for example), the way they are managed in
Solaris and the frameworks present in the system to help the
driver writer. After an overview of all this, we can get into
DDI/DKI and specific interfaces of interest in each subsystem.
I know, I know, thats a lot of things to talk about. If we
cannot complete it this time, we can have another session on the
next BOSUG meet, if you all like it."
As usual, if any of you want to talk about something, just let me
know.
