How to write ACPI device driver for Solaris 8 (SPARC Edition)

Hi, All,
I wonder how to write ACPI driver to access battery life,
can anyone help ? thanks!!

I am having the similar problem identified in this thread.
OS: Sun Solaris 10 01/06
Hardware: Sun Blade 2500
PCI Memory card.
Problem: When driver moves more then 40 bytes via PIO from a PCI device memory card, the long words are swapped starting at 40 byte transfer size and greater.
device memory description:
static ddi_device_acc_attr_t sdram_access_attr =
DDI_DEVICE_ATTR_V0, /* Boilerplate value */
DDI_STRUCTURE_LE_ACC,
DDI_STRICTORDER_ACC /* Don't reorder accesses */
The user application does a read call, which goes to xxread. xxread calls physio( xxstrategy, bp, dev, B_READ, xxminphys, uio );
In xxstrategy the transfer is done using
ddi_mem_rep_get8(ucb->ucb_sdram_accHndl,
(uint8_t*) kaddr,
(uint8_t*) raddr,
(size_t) bp->b_resid),
(uint_t) DDI_DEV_AUTOINCR );
PCI Device memory is loaded with incrementing address (8bit), 0,1,2... This is confirmed using a PCI Bus Analyzer.
A read of 36 bytes or less returns:
03 02 01 00 07 06 05 04 ...
A read of 40 bytes returns:
07 06 05 04 03 02 01 00 ...
If I peek 1 byte at a time using ddi_get8(ucb->ucb_sdram_accHndl, ...) I get
00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07
Why are the long words swapped starting at 40 byte transfer size and greater?

Problem with a DDI Device driver for Solaris 8 and 9 on a Sun-Blade-1500

The problem has to do with dma allocated memory and the little-endian format.
When I copy blocks bigger than 256 bytes to the dma memory, using a uiomove() or bcopy(), the data after the first 32 bytes is swapped around over 8 bytes.
The bcopy from a driver (stack) buffer into the dma virtual memory has the same affect.
So it has to do with the kernel dma allocated memory and the endianess.
When I set the byte order to big-endian inside the ddi_device_acc_attr the data seems to be alright, also with bigger transfer sizes.
My device however needs the little-endian format.
I have the same the same device driver running without any errors on a Sun Blade-150 Solaris 8 for a long time now.
Can somebody please advise me?
Data example,
test data: 0x00,0x01,0x02,?.

Quad gigaSwift Ethernet Driver for Solaris 10 Sparc

I have been looking about for this all over the place and cannot find it anywhere, in the manual and the sun site all the downloads are for solaris 9.
Are these cards not supported on Solaris 10 Sparc ?
Cheers,
Mike

it is the X4444A solaris 10 did pick up the card straight away, but the problem is there was no ce.conf file, i have created my own because i need to turn on jumbo frame for an individual port, but when i add it in all the ports on the card are being set to MTU 9800 so then i have to set them indivually to 1500 apart from the one i am using that needs to be 9000. This is all good and proper but when i activate this the box connects to the netapps server but all nfs shares fail as soon as anything touches these directories.
The netapps filer is running at MTU 9000 and the card is running at 9000 causes everything to fall over, set back to normal and everything is ok.
Any ideas ?

How to develop 64-bit Windows device driver for NI-6602?

Due to the fact that NI-VISA doesn’t support 64 bit Windows, how can I do to develop a 64 bit Windows device driver for NI 6602 (Counter/timer) PCI card. The possible jobs include:
Develop a Windows Kernel Mode Driver (“Device Driver”);
Make it to comply with VISA in order to utilize “osiBus Generic IO Interface” and MH DDK.
Could anyone please give me some advices as soon as possible?

3dfx driver for solaris 8

Hi,
I am looking for a 3dfx banshee driver for solaris 8. Any pointers. If none exists any pointers to how I could port the 3dfx drivers for linux and glide over to solaris 8. Can I use gcc to do my work?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Nirmal

Hello Flavio,
please i need a driver for Voodoo3 3000 AGP video
adapter, you have one ?No. I wrote a driver for the V2 and it's not very useful - I made it for Solaris Sparc and all you can do is a few IOCTLs and mmap the device memory into userland. The driver does work on i386 but you need the latest MMU patch. I did not have the time yet to port glide - I have something half working for sparc but I have not spend time to make it work on i386. Even with glide working you can't use X11 (one would have to write the X11 drivers and that's a whole new ball game).
How i do to install this driver ? sorry i�m begining
on Sun.If you wish to use it for X11, I would recommend to download the XFree86 binaries for Solaris, since it has support for the V3.
You can get more information about it on www.xfree86.org.
My S.O. is Sun Solaris 8 01-01 (IA) on ASUS A7V133 and
AMD K7 cpu.
Thanks to you, very much.You are welcome!

How to make Automatically Device driver installation in Win 7/WIn 8 when using RNDIS in Windows Compact

We are developing a precision instrument that measures Temperature, Pressure and humidity used in the pharmaceutical industry.
The Instrument is based on Windows Embedded Compact (7.0)
WE establish a TCP communication vi a USB connection. This is done by the RNDIS Driver.
When we connect the instrument to a PC we have to do the following in Windows:
http://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/how-to-install-microsoft-rndis-driver-for-windows-7
The INF that is used is then C:\Windows\inf\rndiscmp.inf
We want this to be executed automatically
The way it is automated is by setting the correct entry’s in the registration database on the Instruments. In Windows CE registration database.
On
http://www.usb.org/developers/defined_class we think we must set Base Class = EFh, SubClass = 04h and Protocol = 01h.
But how is this done in the registry on the device?
Who can help me :-)

Hi Mads,
changes in "rndisfn.h" in public folder have no influance on your project, because those files are not built at all. Visual Studio will use this one anyway (which is already built): C:\WINCE700\public\common\oak\target\armv7\retail\rndisfn.dll
To make use of Microsoft public code, you have to clone this code - that is copy selected source files to BSP folder and adjust DIRS files to include new data in the compilation process.
To clone RNDIS component, copy rndis folder from C:\WINCE700\public\common\oak\drivers\UsbFn\class
to C:\WINCE700\platform\YOUR_BSP\Src\COMMON\USBFN.
Edit source file C:\WINCE700\platform\YOUR_BSP\Src\COMMON\USBFN\rndis\rndisfn\sources:
DOSYSGEN=1
TARGETDEFNAME=RNDISFN
TARGETNAME=RNDISFN
TARGETTYPE=DYNLINK
DLLENTRY=_DllEntryCRTStartup
SOURCES= \
rndisfn.cpp \
TARGETLIBS= \
$(_COMMONSDKROOT)\lib\$(_CPUINDPATH)\ndis.lib \
$(_COMMONOAKROOT)\lib\$(_CPUINDPATH)\ceddk.lib \
$(_SYSGENSDKROOT)\lib\$(_CPUINDPATH)\coredll.lib
SOURCELIBS=\
$(SG_OUTPUT_ROOT)\platform\$(_TGTPLAT)\lib\$(_CPUINDPATH)\rndismini2.lib \
$(_PUBLICROOT)\common\oak\lib\$(_CPUINDPATH)\ufnclientlib.lib
Finally, edit C:\WINCE700\platform\YOUR_BSP\Src\COMMON\USBFN\dirs to include your new component (folder) in the build process:
DIRS=\
RNDISKITL \
RNDIS \
System will build now new rndisfn.dll, which will replace the original one in the public directory. I hope I didn't forget anything...

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing.

I'm having the error "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)" and I can't read/write CDs/DVDs. When I try to update the driver I have the message that it is already up to date.
I can't find the driver to dowload and try to fix the problem. Where can I download it or solve somehow my problem?

Writing USB-Serial Converter Device Driver for Windows CE 6.0

Dear Developers,
I have a Silicon Labs chip Cp2108. Its a Quad USB to Serial converter. It supports all the operating systems except Win CE. So I have the source code of the driver for Linux 2.6 / Linux 3.0. I have experience in Device drivers development
in Linux.
Question is How will I start coding driver for Windows CE 6.0. Can anyone point me to a best starting point on this topic. All I need to do is make this chip work with WIN CE 6.0. Can anyone point me to a Sample driver source code It will be great.
Regards,
Winston

Dear Vinoth,
Thanks for the valuable reply.
I am confused a bit here. I need to make the external USB -UART bridge (CP2108) work on win CE 7.
the driver in Path \WINCE600\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\DRIVERS\USB\CLASS\USBSER is using the built in USB controller
hardware and making it as a Serial port right ?
How do you go about making the external USB -UART bridge work as a COM port ?
I have a document from SIlicon Labs which gives info about Device descriptors and interface commands .
Regards,
Winston

Equium - Windows can't load the device driver for USB dongle

I have been using a dongle without problems for about a month, however now it is saying (in device manager ) "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"
what does this mean and how can i fix it?

hi it's a vodafone 3gb cheap as chips dongle
it's an equium a200 i think
everything cam as one on the dongle, it uninstalled ok after initial problem, but now won't acknowledge it is in fact a dongle, just a 'usb mass filter' something or other?
i know i sound completely stupid, but when it comes to technology i am!

Cannot load device driver for DVD/CDRW - Satellite 1110

I have a Satellite 1110 and something has gone wrong with my DVD/CDRW and it will not read any CDs. It is reported as a MAT****A UJDA730 DVD/CDRW but the device status comes up as:
"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the device but the error just returns. I cannot find a driver for it either on the manufacturer's web site or Toshiba's. I don't want to use the Product Recovery CD-ROM as it implies I will lose all software and data on the hard drive.
Can someone advise how to recover from this situation?
Thanks

Hi
Firstly you dont any driver for the CD/DVD drive. The drive uses the standard Windows OS driver and its not necessary to install it additional.
I assume there could be something wrong with the registry entry.
Please check this forum posting:

Device Driver for Quick Can

I want to use quick CAN for the project using LabVIEW .So I need the device driver for Quick CAN so that ,I can interface with LabVIEW.Is there a Driver for Quick CAN for LabVIEW ?

Wow that looks like a piece of junk. You get what you pay for, and that goes for driver support as well. If you bought a NI CAN device or XNET you'd have all kinds of support from this forum trying to help you out. Heck even a Vector device has some love on this forum. And Intrepid has drivers for their hardware in LabVIEW...it needs some attention but it exists.
I say read the documentation, write a set of VIs to talk to the device, and post here if you have any general questions about writing drivers.
