- I have a customer who is trying to develop a device driver for a 3rd party
- board, eisa, that plugs into a 720. They have the device drivers developers
- manuals. They have found 2 things that the documentation references but
- does not explain.
-
- 1) a device driver configuration file is require, it should be supplied by the
- manufacture. The format of this file is not defined, and the board is a
- custom design. Where can I get info on what the configuration file should
- look like?
-
- 2) A "id" is required. There is no specification of what the id looks like,
- how to create it, set it etc. Again please direct me to info on how to create
- the device driver id.
