(коротко) Describe your order in free form: What application do you need: [---] web-site: OS2FAQ/?action=devdrv your contacts * email: [---] Development of device drivers Detailed information: Network drivers File systems USB drivers Print drivers Template of 32-bit driver for eComStation Download eCo Software simple 32-bit driver. 32-bit driver interaction with ACPI driver KEE interface To develop modern drivers you should use DevHlp, KEE interfaces. Read DDK, pddref.inf for details. Description of KEE interface KEE Interface - The KEE extensions provide modified kernel entry points into the stack. This helps give the stack faster access to kernel services like locks and memory allocation. (History: KEE was invented for JFS and TCP/IP 4.4) kee.zip, keeapi.zip Tutorials We recommend start from this presentation: OS/2 Device Driver Programming by Daniela Engert, (includes snippets of code) From Hello World to Real World Part 1: The Driver Part 2: Putting your driver to work Part 3: Passing Your Own Data To and From Your Device Driver Part 4: Writing a Device Driver for your own Data Acquisition Card Part 5: Making I/O Calls Part 6: Interrupt Processing Suspend/resume eCS supports suspend/resume for one-core and multi-core desktops and notebooks. You can use APM interface (read DDK -> in_out.inf, Input/Output Device Driver Reference) or hidden kernel function SaveRestore() /* * Function SaveRestore * @pkt standard drivers packet * @return None * Note: This function is undocemmented in pddref.inf */ void SaveRestore( PRPSAVERESTORE pkt) { PrintDevCall((PRPH)pkt, "SaveRestore"); if (PSD) { PSD->AcpiOsPrintf("APM:SaveRestore - %x\n",(ULONG)pkt->FuncCode); } pkt->rph.Status |= STDON; } dd OFFSET FLAT:SaveRestore ; Command code 20h SaveRestore   Please share information with other developers how to: How to process command line parameters? How to gather log, so user can call: copy acpica$ acpi.log How to register driver in resource manager? So users can see it via rmview /IRQ Programming PCI devices To create new driver, you need PCI standard (PCI Specifications Documents) Datasheet for your device Use OEMHLP$ to work with PCI. Useful functions Additional information: Writing PCI device drivers Wakeup PCI devices Examples: Wake up sleeping PCI devices at boot time (by Veit) driver, source code Source code of USB drivers (DDK) Read/write ports from Ring3 Example how to read/write to the ports Mapping physical memory to linear Use this method (via SCREEN$) memory mapping via SCREEN$ (thx LightElf) Driver debugging if you are going to do driver debugging, a trap dump partition is a must have. It will save you a lot of time. A usable kernel debugger setup will save you a even more time, but this can be problematic on newer systems that lack a serial port. Read details: OS/2 Diagnostic Tools and Tips by Steven Levine. dumpfs Debugging via Network: ICAT: The New Remote Source-code Debugger for OS/2 Summary of Trap Error Useful links DPMS in eComStation Ralf Brown`s interrupt list (.inf format)

 

ArcaOS 5.1.1 - DOS works again DOS virtual machine works again (it was working on Core 2 Duo, and didn't for i5). Install ArcaOS in UEFI mode to use DOS VM.

"SVISTA a-la Vista" We have released SVISTA/2 virtual machine in 2004, Eugene Gorbunoff have combined "Serenity Virtual Station" to spanish "Vista". 2004, 2005, there were several announcements on all major computer web-sites. later Microsoft released OS named Vista

Every conference is important.

Warpstock Europe 2016 Interview with Lars Erdmann talking about USB drivers development What was happening at that conference? The work on ArcaOS was starting..
