In final version my driver would load UEFI driver from hardware's flash.
I am confused. UEFI drivers are intended to extend firmware, have no OS dependence and have nothing to do with an operating system kernel.
How do you expect the kernel to load and interface with a UEFI driver? UEFI drivers can be 32 bit, 64-bit and more commonly EBC (Efi Byte Code). Have you read the Driver Writers Guide for UEFI?
Are you aware, for example, that 64-bit UEFI uses the Microsoft X64 calling convention whereas Linux uses the AMD64 calling convention.
You also need a UEFI-aware operating system of which there are a limited number out there. Recent 64-bit versions of Fedora/Redhat/etc.
If you describe exactly what you are trying to achieve - the big picture and not the how to - we can probably help you.
I just set up an ftp server with Red Hat 5.2. I am doing the work, I'm baby stepping, but it seems like every step I get stuck. Currently, I'm trying to set up a crontab job, but I'm getting the following message: /bin/sh: /usr/bin/vi: No such file or directory. I see that vi exists in /bin/vi,... (3 Replies)
Hi-
I need the cpp call that will tell me the full path to the app I'm running in. For example, I'm running in a loaded library for either mozilla or firefox, but would like to know the full path to the executable
/usr/bin/firefox
/usr/bin/mozilla
/usr/local/firefox1_5
etc...

Hi all,
I am working on USB data monitoring on Fedora Core 9. Kernel 2.6.25 has a built-in module (the one that isn't loadable, but compiles and links statically with the kernel during compilation) to snoop USB data. It is in <kernel_source_code>/drivers/usb/mon/.
I need to know if I can... (0 Replies)
Okay, so I have two "Hello, world!" scripts, "test.pl" and "test.sh".
#!/bin/perl -w
use strict;
print "Hello, world!\n";
#!/bin/csh
echo Hello,\ world!
When I run test.pl, it runs instantly, always. When I run test.sh, it takes anywhere between 4 and 22 seconds!
I'd like to know what... (3 Replies)
Hi,
I have a problem I don't understand with fuser.
I launch a simple shell script mysleep.sh:
I launch the command fuser -fu mysleep.sh but fuser doesn't return anything excepted:
mysleep:
Then I modify my script switching from #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/ksh
I launch the command fuser -fu... (4 Replies)
Q1. I understand that /usr/local/bin means I can install/uninstall stuff in here and have any chance of messing up my original system files or effecting any other users. I created this directory myself.
But what about the directory I didn't create, namely /Users/m/bin? How is that directory... (1 Reply)

Is there any way to compile smbfs module in kernel 3.10 running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I did a 'make menuconfig' and it shows cifs. I found out online that smbfs is deprecated and replaced by cifs. I have an old system with kernel version 2.4 which only has smbfs (no cifs). Is it possible to compile... (1 Reply)
Hi,
I am planning to install a version of Informatica on my AIX box. It requires a specific java build in pap6470_27sr2-20141101_01(SR2).
The current link for IBM 64-bit SDK for AIX®, JavaTM Technology Edition, Version 7 Release 1 has a more recent version in j7r164redist.7.1.0.75.bin.

Some question about the usage of shell scripts:
1.) Are the commands of the base shell scripts a subset of bash commands?
2.) Assume I got a long, long script WITHOUT the first line.
How can I find out if the script was originally designed für "sh" or "bash"?
3.) How can I check a given... (3 Replies)

regulatory.bin, regulatory.db - The Linux wireless regulatory database
Description
regulatory.bin and regulatory.db are the files used by the Linux wireless subsystem to keep its regulatory database information.
regulatory.bin is read by crda upon the Linux kernel's request for regulatory information for a specific ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2 country
code.
regulatory.db is a newer, extensible database format which (since Linux 4.15) is read by the kernel directly as a firmware file.
The regulatory database is kept in a small binary format for size and code efficiency. The regulatory.bin file can be parsed and read in
human format by using the regdbdump command. The regulatory database files should be updated upon regulatory changes or corrections.
Upkeeping
The regulatory database is maintained by the community as such you are encouraged to send any corrections or updates to the linux-wireless
and wireless-regdb mailing lists: linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org and wireless-regdb@lists.infradead.org
