BSD Accelerated NVIDIA Driver Petition

hello ppl, me and a friend, tired of waiting for nvidia to help the community creating a nvidia driver for bsd, decided to make yet another petition to deliver nvidia as a way of protest. didn't we buy a nvidia card just like a common windows or linux user? didn't we pay for it? so, why...

Kernel and Device Driver Programming

I am looking for a guide on how to program for either the Linux or FreeBSD (includes 4.4BSD, NetBSD or OpenBSD) kernel. I would prefer to learn how to write device drivers, but anything would help. If you know, please email me at *removed* or leave a post here Regards, Farhan

Linux Device Driver: avoid mem copy from/to user/kernel space

I recently started working with Linux and wrote my first device driver for a hardware chip controlled by a host CPU running Linux 2.6.x kernel. 1. The user space process makes an IOCTL call with pointer to a user memory buffer. 2. The kernel device driver in the big switch-case of IOCTL,...

BSD kernel

Hi. I am thinking to create an OS. I don't want to use linux kernel. I want to use BSD Kernel and this also means that because will be on UFS, I cannot use Gparted. This are my 2 questions. 1) Where can I download BSD Kernel. 2) Witch is the tool to create the partitions. (I think is gpart but I...

Is Kernel module is the same as a device driver?

I have been reading prep questions for my second unix academy exam, and there's a nuance, I'm not sure I understand it correctly. I've been under impression from my readings of book by Evi Nemeth and from unix academy DVDs I've been watching, that kernel's modules are drivers. I think of it, as...

gpioiic

GPIOIIC(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						GPIOIIC(4)

NAME

     gpioiic -- GPIO I2C controller

SYNOPSIS

     gpioiic* at gpio? offset 0 mask 0x3 flag 0x0
     gpioiic* at gpio?
     iic* at gpioiic?

DESCRIPTION

     The gpioiic driver allows bit-banging an I2C bus as a master using two GPIO pins.	By default the first pin is used as a serial data (SDA)
     signal and the second as a serial clock (SCL).  If the flag locator is set to 0x01, the order of the SDA and SCL signals is reversed.  Both
     GPIO pins must be able to drive an output and the SDA pin must be also able to read an input.

     The pins can be specified in the kernel configuration with the offset and the mask locators.  The offset and mask can also be specified when
     gpioiic is attached at runtime using the GPIOATTACH ioctl(2) on the gpio(4) device.  Each bit in the mask locator defines one pin; the pin
     number is calculated as an addition of the bit position and the offset locator.  For example, offset 17 and mask 0x5 defines pin numbers 17
     and 19.

SEE ALSO

     gpio(4), iic(4), intro(4)

HISTORY

     The gpioiic driver first appeared in OpenBSD 3.9 and NetBSD 5.0.

AUTHORS

     The gpioiic driver was written by Alexander Yurchenko <grange@openbsd.org> and was ported to NetBSD by Marc Balmer <marc@msys.ch>.

CAVEATS

     A gpioiic device can not be detached from the gpio(4) bus at runtime due to the fact that iic(4) busses can not detach once attached.
