OS/2 2.x MULTIMEDIA DEVICE DRIVER WORKSHOP (MM PDD) COURSE # 0S2DD309
July 21, 1993
------------- OS/2 2.x Multimedia Device Driver---------------------
--------------------------- Workshop -------------------------------
---------------------- Course # = OS2DD309 -------------------------
The OS/2 2.x Multimedia Device Driver Pilot Workshop will be held
August 09 through August 13, 1993 at the IBM Design Center, Boca Raton,
Florida.
This five day workshop will enable programmers to write OS/2 physical
device drivers (PDD); A PDD enables Multimedia I/O ports (Audio, video
capture, MIDI, etc.) to be shared by multiple OS/2 applications.
This seminar describes how the PDD communicates with the OS/2 kernel
using the DevHlp interface. Installation and debug techniques will
also be covered. The OS/2 Device Driver Kit (DDK) will be used
extensively in order to build and test the PDD.
Target Audience
===============
IBM or OEM programmers who code device drivers for hardware, such as
audio, video capture, or MIDI interfaces.
Attendee Prerequisites
======================
a) Programming expertise: C and/or MASM
b) Have written device drivers/utilities for OEM hardware
(DOS device drivers, ROM BIOS, test utilities)
c) Purchased development software
OS/2 2.1, DDK, MSC 6.0
----------------------- Workshop Outline -----------------------
o OS/2 Structure
o Device Driver types
- Physical Device Driver
- Character vs Block
- Modes, times
- Init, Kernel, Interrupt, Timer
o Init sequence- config.sys processing
o Utilities, debuggers
o Semaphores
o PDD Address spaces
- Memory Management
o MM extensions, DLL interfaces
- MIDI, audio, video
- Device sharing techniques
- Streaming protocols
o VDD Communications
o Lab: Device Driver Development
There is no charge for this pilot workshop or class materials. Attendee's
expenses include transportation, hotel accommodations, dinner, and any
incidental expenses.
Each attendee will be assigned a fully configured OS/2 work station for
their use during the week for debugging.
You will need to bring your source code for your device driver to be
converted, a favorite text editor (if you have a preference) and any
third party software you may require for device driver development.
Attendees must bring their own PCs with development tools (editors,
disk managers, etc.) that they are familiar with, to enhance the
handling of the developers equipment.
The following specs are suggested for the developers PCs:
o 386 or 486 (25 MHZ minimum recommended)
o 8 Meg memory or more (16 Meg suggested)
o VGA Display (or SVGA or XGA)
o 100 Meg hard drive or more (200 Meg suggested)
o Any additional hardware to be used for development.
o OS/2 2.1 installed
We are limiting the seating in this Workshop to no more than 14 people,
to enhance technical assistance, and provide a productive workshop
session
Please complete the OS/2 Workshop Registration Form (REGISTRA.TXT on
the Device Driver BBS "D.U.D.E.") by August 4th to confirm a
seat in this workshop.
