Figure 1–2 Entry Points for Different Types of Drivers. In the Oracle Solaris OS, drivers can manage physical devices, such as disk drives, or software (pseudo) devices, such as bus nexus devices or ramdisk devices. In the case of hardware devices, the device driver communicates with the hardware controller that manages the device. This tutorial provides hands-on information about how to develop device drivers for the Oracle Solaris Operating System. This book includes step-by-step descriptions of writing, building, installing, loading, and testing real device drivers. These instructions help you understand how drivers control devices.

Solaris OS Structure. Solaris is a Unix based operating system that was developed by Sun Microsystems and after its acquisition by Oracle, it is known as Oracle Solaris. It is known for its scalability and its innovative features such as DTrace, ZFS, Time Slider etc. Solaris is a microkernel design and it is not possible to create a monolithic. •A driver that does nothing, but does it correctly •Shows minimum code needed for a driver on Solaris (plus a little bit more) •Can use as a template for drivers on Solaris •Does not use any available framework, i.e., no STREAMS, USBA, SCSA, etc. •You will use this driver as a starting point in the lab work •Files: skeleton.c. You may need other packages, but GCC is the only thing that's actually required to build the sample driver in Oracle's Device Driver Tutorial: $ cat dummy.c paste text from first link above $ gcc -D_KERNEL -c dummy.c $ ld -r -o dummy dummy.c Now you have the actual loadable driver which you can install in the normal way.
