OS/2 1.x Device Drivers - Course OS2DD102
Enabling hardware support for multiple OS/2 applications
Objective
======================
To expedite Independent Hardware Vendors (IHV) support of OS/2 2.x
by writing Physical Device Drivers (PDD) to support PC hardware. This
will permit the hardware to be used by multiple OS/2 applications.
This class will identify the protocol on how to communicate with the
kernel using the DevHlp interface. Installation and debug techniques will
also be covered.
Target audience
======================
IBM or IHV programmers who code device drivers for...
a. I/O interfaces (i.e. Serial, parallel, etc)
b. Bus type: ISA, EISA, VLB, or MCA.
Attendee prerequisites
======================
a. Programming expertise: C and/or MASM
b. Have written other device drivers for IHV hardware
DOS, ROM BIOS code, utilities
c. Intimate knowledge of IHV hardware & programming protocol
d. Purchased development software (OS/2 2.1, DDK, MSC 6.0, MASM 5.1)
Course length: 5 days
