Part II Designing Specific Kinds of Device Drivers

The second part of the book provides design information that is specific to the type of driver:

• Chapter 15, Drivers for Character Devices describes drivers for character-oriented devices.

• Chapter 16, Drivers for Block Devices describes drivers for a block-oriented devices.

• Chapter 17, SCSI Target Drivers outlines the Sun Common SCSI Architecture (SCSA) and the requirements for SCSI target drivers.

• Chapter 18, SCSI Host Bus Adapter Drivers explains how to apply SCSA to SCSI Host Bus Adapter (HBA) drivers.

• Chapter 19, Drivers for Network Devices describes the Generic LAN driver (GLD), a Solaris network driver that uses STREAMS technology and the Data Link Provider Interface (DLPI).

• Chapter 20, USB Drivers describes how to write a client USB device driver using the USBA 2.0 framework.
