Abstract:
Device driver is one component that is usually ignored by research community in operating systems. Their design mechanisms, accessing semantics, operating behaviors and runtime performance are crucial to operating system architecture and total system performance. In this paper, an I/O package to reuse Linux device drivers in embedded system is introduced. Via this package, the whole Linux device-driver source tree can be reused without any modifications. The motivations why to do this work and the detailed design and implementation issues are addressed. This I/O package was also quantitatively evaluated. The empirical results show that the incorporated drivers' performance is comparable with those operated under Linux, and those native drivers under Vega kernel. 1. INTRODUCTION For those who work with operating systems, they know that their biggest troubles mostly come from the fact that there always exist devices waiting for new drivers. And so do the existing drivers waiting for mai...
