-
- Tells you how the DDK fits into a Solaris development environment

Who Should Use This Book
- If you are a driver developer interested in providing driver software for Solaris, you should read this book. Typical driver developers are independent hardware vendors (IHVs) or original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) who want their hardware products to operate in a Solaris environment.
- DDK users include:
-
- IHVs and OEMs interested in writing DDI/DKI-compliant device drivers for hardware devices
- IHVs whose products include device drivers
- IHVs interested in writing device handlers for the OpenWindows(TM) server
- IHVs writing device pipelines for the XGL(TM) graphics library
-
- IHVs writing device handlers to port hardware devices to the XIL(TM) imaging library, and technology providers writing additional device-independent acceleration code for XIL operators
- IHVs writing FCode PROM programs for SBus cards
- IHVs writing color calibration modules to support new devices.
- This manual assumes that you are familiar with the Solaris 2.5.1 distributed computing environment, and general UNIX(TM) device driver principles. If you are new to writing device drivers, see the first three chapters of the Writing Device Drivers manual.
