On solaris driver
hello!
I am a new to solaris , now I am useing solaris 8 to write NIC driver.
I don'r know if solaris 8 support jumble frame (<9K bytes), and if I want to send a
jumble frame , the frame format that system send us was?The format may be
mblk_t , but I am not very clear that in one mblk_t structure , the max cont count
was?
I also don't know if solaris 8 support VLAN and priority,and can be used in service
which speed is 1000M?
Best regards!
Thanks!

Solaris Driver Wrong Address Recovery
Hi,
i am developing a solaris driver for a custom made IO card. I have a simple question. I have completed development and provide an entry point for pread in driver. When a legal user space address is passed over pread everything is fine data is read correctly. But when an illegal address buffer is passed to driver, kernel panics and system is restarted.
I handle NULL pointer in driver but how can driver check/recover or just create a segmentation fault without kernel panic when pread is called to read from device to a user space buffer that is NON-NULL illegal address. This problem is applicable for pwrite also by the way?
Thanks in advance.no actually that is not the case. in my seg_flg is UIO_USERSPACE which is set by system(transfer between user and kernel). no conflict on that. the problem is if user space buffer is an invalid address uiomove panics system.
i guess nothing to do with that. i will have to rewrite my read/write over ioctl entry point and hope that ddi_copyin/out wont panic the kernel. or just live with that weird situation and be careful while calling pread/pwrite on application side :)
thanks . -
How / from where to start on Solaris Driver developement?
Hi,
'm a User domain developer, want to also learn about driver developement.
Please give me pointers so that I can start with
Thanks,
-VikrantFirst of all you should download the following two documents:
- Writing Device Drivers
- STREAMS Programming Guide
If you want to develop USB drivers you must have USBA 1.0 installed (Solaris 8/9 has 0.8 as default) and additionally download the "USB DDK" from Sun.
A device driver is an object file (created by "ld -r ..."). You cannot decide if you use 32 or 64 bit. On a 64 bit OS you MUST use 64 bit code.
If you use GCC: On Sparc machines 64 bit code is generated using "-m64", not using "-xarch=v9".
The driver must provide three functions: "_init", "_info" and "_fini" (see first document).
There are two types of drivers:
1) Streams drivers (described in the second document) are drivers for stream devices. These are all devices that implement a character stream and can be used with "streamio" ioctls. Examples are: All terminals and serial ports, printer ports, mice, keyboards, ...
These devices communicate with the system calls (e.g. read, write, ioctl) using special data packets. Therefore programming Streams drivers is very different from writing other drivers.
All streams devices are character devices.
You can also write streams modules (see man streamio, I_PUSH). Such modules are "filters" that can modify the data between the device driver and the application.
2) Other drivers. They may be character or block devices. These drivers have different functions for different function calls. Example: The "ioctl" function call will call the function "MyDriver_Ioctl" of your driver.
I think writing a non-streams driver is way more simple than writing a streams driver. I had some system crashes when running instable self-written streams drivers. However some drivers must be streams drivers e.g. if you want to use the device as a terminal device or if you want to push modules using I_PUSH.
Unlike Linux the OS detects the presence of hardware and decides when to load a driver. You create the file /kernel/drv/NameOfYourDriver.conf with driver settings. This file also contains the information that your driver does not require hardware (e.g. ram disks). You must add your driver to the system by typing "add_drv NameOfYourDriver". Use the "-i" option to tell the system which hardware is handled by your driver.

Solaris driver for PCI-GPIB and GPIB/ENET
We have written a Java wrapper to communicate with the Solaris PCI-GPIB driver. Now we need to support the GPIB/ENET device. According to ibconf we are running the following driver (NI-488.2 Sol2 2.2). Is there a driver to support both? Our current wrapper supports the following commands: ibConfig, ibFind, SendIFC, Send & Receive.
Thanks in advance,
PaulHey Paul,
Unfortunately, we do not offer a driver that will support the PCI-GPIB and the ENET at the same time. In order to use the ENET you will need to use NI-488.2 Version 1.4 (http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/67f3a445bc3b87c3862569f2005855d9?opendocument).
We recommend you do not install both of these drivers at the same time, because each driver was designed to run independently and some of the files would be overwritten.
However, the functions will be the same for both drivers, so the code you�re developing should be interchangeable. There are a few additional functions the ENET supports, but they are just used to get information about the ENET and do not need to be in your application. The only difference is that you will need to link t
he code to a different library when it is compiled. This information is located inside of the getting started guide.

I hope this helps out.

I am trying to get information on how Sun is pursuing its Kernel Configuration model.
Like in HP-UX, there master/system files associated with a specific dynamically-loadable kernel module, plus an object. All the above information is being used to install/configure a module. I am wondering if Sun has a similar model. And if does, does anyone know what direction does SUN is planning to take - would it use WBEM or DMI technology for its kernel configuration tasks?
Any help is appreciated.
LeonHai friends
Iam developing PCI driver.
The driver is first installe with add_drv : Then it works correctly
When I reboot my workstation, I have the following message:
WARNING: Missing name/number? on line 128 of /etc/name_to_major
WARNING: Missing name? on line 128 of /etc/name_to_major
At the end of boot sequence, the driver is not correctly installed. I can't open it, the modinfo or prtconf command do not see it.
I had a look to /etc/name_to_major: line 133 describes my driver, and has been added by the add_drv command ...!
Can any body help me to clear above problem

Solaris on x86 Dell Laptop - keyboard driver!
Hello,
As some of you may have a Dell Laptop I am asking if anyone has
had any success installing Solaris 8 for Intel. If you have please
drop me a line.
So far I have worked my way past the hangs during the install's
configuration of /dev. I had to remove all references to cardbus in
the "Edit Device" settings of the device configuration assistant.
But then I hit the second problem where the first keypress at the
language selection window sends repeating characters until the keyboard
buffer is full. In other words it goes nuts because the Solaris driver
does not support the Dell Latitude CPi laptop keyboard. I know it is
not a supported configuration but I have little option since Sun are
no longer interested in supporting laptops in Solaris 8.
I already know there is a USB keyboard workaround but I dont
fancy myself hauling around a seperate keyboard just so I can use
Solaris 8.
More specificallly I am looking for driver settings to make the
existing keyboard driver work or an alternative keyboard driver to solve the
issue. Sun can you help out here?
Any suggestions appreciated, especially some input from Sun.
Sincerely

Network Associates IncHi knightweb,
Did you checked the BigAdmin center to know if your box is compatible / known to work ?
The installation program says your drive is RO ? Are you installing from a CD ? If yes, be sure that the disk choosed to the installation is not the CD drive (I don't know Dell 6350 anyway)
Did you tried to broke the last partition if there's one with fdisk ? -
Does anyone know if there is a driver for the AMD PCnet family of PCI Ethernet devices on the SPARC architecture?
I know that there is a Solaris driver available for Intel architecture from AMD but I can find no reference to a Sparc driver.
If one doesn't exist - are there any recommendations on companies or individuals that write network device drivers?
David Smith, BVM Ltd.
[email protected]If you are using Solaris 9, I remember I read they support gld type drivers. You should be able to use the intel gld driver from AMD.
Else you can use as a base the ae driver.
I wrote myself a driver for the AMD976 four our products. Unhappily, I can not provide the source code. -
[HELP] Solaris SFS FCA driver/ the Solaris OneConnect UCNA NIC driver
Can anybody help me please? I want to download Solaris driver for HBA emulex in [http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=42c4317d|http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=42c4317d] . However, since there was migration from sun to oracle, the file has been missing. Is anyone can help me provide it????
I'm not sure what you find to be difficult.
Your link to the driver:
http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=42c4317d
gets you to a download page.
When you click on the download link, you are taken to a page that describes what you need to do:
http://www.oracle.com/us/support/044752.html
Quick click-to-download links are gone. Oracle requires you to have various levels of account privileges now. Sometimes it is a simple as a login account
https://support.oracle.com/CSP/ui/flash.html
but most of the time, you will now need to have a support contract if you hope to get anything.
It's all now Oracle's products.
That's their rules.
Hint:
Since it's an Emulex card, have you tried contacting Emulex? -
Vista and Solaris 10, are they compatible?
I have attempted to follow dual boot guides found everywhere, but none tailor specifically to (or eve mention) Vista. This is a problem, because Vista does not use the same method of boot as previous versions of NT.
So far, in my many failed attempts at creating a Vista dual boot, I have experienced this:
When I install Solaris 10 on any partition (Solaris installs correctly and works great), and then attempt to install Windows Vista, Vista says all of my partitions do not meet its requirements for installation (that the drive is NTFS and at least 12 GB is all it tells me). Even after formatting, deleting, recreating, and reformatting a drive, the drive is still unusable. Only after deleting ALL drives, including Solaris 10, and recreating and brand new first partition does Vista allow me to install. If I create a partition that Vista allows me to use, and also a partition to use with Solaris, and THEN install Solaris, the partition that Vista liked can no longer be used!
When I install Windows Vista first (and it works fine) (which is what I tried first and reasoned is what I should be doing), and then install Solaris 10 on a partition (it installs correctlt and works great), I load up my computer and go into the GRUB bootloader. I can select Windows. However, when attempting to load windows, I get an error (in the Vista font by the way) that says my operating system cannot be loaded. When I load my Vista install disc, it cannot find any installations of windows, and it cannot repair the master boot record, saying something like the filesystem is corrupt. However, just as an experiment, I loaded Vista onto the former Solaris drive, and looked at my first partition. Every file was there, intact.
I have attempted this with Windows Home Premium 32 bit, Windows Business 32 bit, and Vista Ultimate x64. I don't want to believe that it's impossible to load Vista and Solaris simultaneously, I've seen as much stating its impossibility as I've seen documents telling me how to do it (<- cold irony).
As long as I can get AN INSTALLATION of Solaris 10 on my machine at the same time I have Vista able to boot, I'm fine, but I seem to have lost on all fronts.
Edited by: ZetaZeta on Sep 19, 2007 12:30 AMIn Solaris Express, this is not an issue, according to this weblog:
http://blogs.sun.com/moinakg/entry/solaris_vista_dual_boot_conclusion
For versions of Solaris Express prior to buid 70, this method was described for creating a dual-boot with the oh-too-picky Windows Vista:
http://linux.wordpress.com/2007/02/17/vista-and-solaris-express-dual-boot/
I am going to assume that setting up a dual-boot with Solaris 10 is similar to, if not the same as, Solaris Express, since the only steps specific to Solaris are the files I copy from Solaris.
I hope this helps anyone else with a problem similar to mine. -
"No Disk Found" error during installation of Solaris 10[11/06] on HP 6710b
Hallo Guys,
I am trying to install Solaris 10 on my HP 6710b lap top but it fails with "No Disk Found" error.
I used "Solaris 10 support tool" to check my system and it reports that my system is supported.
You can find the report bellow. I am sure that my disk is OK and I am also using "CD-ROM" option in BIOS for installing solaris from my Solaris DVD.
I have also updated the drivers using "CPQary3-1.71-solaris10-i386".
Please help me.
Thanks,
Qumar

Solaris 8 on IA with Promise Ultra100
Hello,
i'm a newbie and i have an installation problem.
How can i install Solaris 8 on IA with a
promise ultra100 controller-card.
Can everyone help me?
T. WrobelThat doesn't work because there's no solaris driver
for the promise ide controller (these promise ide
controllers are not 100% pci-ide compliant and need
special driver support). Ask promise for such a
solaris driver.
Most mainboards come with a PCI-IDE compliant
controller on the mainboard's chipset. Connect the
hard disk drive to that controller and solaris can
use the disk drive. -
Solaris 8 on dell inspiron 7000 laptop
Hi gurus...
I need your help to install solaris 8 on my inspiron 7000 laptop.
I'm able to install until it wants to test the X window.
I tried all selection for the screen size and type but still gave me blank screen when I tested.
this notebook use ATI Rage3D LT-Pro which is I now is recognize by solaris since I could run the solaris with external monitor connected with my notebook.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
EricWhat happens when you press Fn + whatever key it is to direct output to the external monitor? There could be a chance that the Solaris driver is autmatically trying to direct output to the external port. If so you may be able to override that.

Solaris 8 on this config?
I'd like to install Solaris 8 on a new pc configuration that I just put together. The system is stable with correct BIOS settings. The machine consists of:
1. ASUS A7V-133 motherboard.
2. AMD Thunderbird [266] 1.2 ghz processor. A Promise HD controller is
present which controls the ATA100 HD mentioned below.
3. 256mb of PC133 memory.
4. ASUS V7100 Pure 32mb GeForce video card.
5. Western Digital 40 gig [7200 rpm] ATA100 hard drive.
6. Creative SoundBlaster Live MP3 sound card.
7. I have Windows 98 SE loaded as the primary OS. I'd like to dual boot
Solaris 8 as the secondary OS.
8. ACER 50x max CD-Rom drive.
9. LG 12x-8x-32x CDRW drive.
Can I purchase and sucessfully install Solaris 8 on the configuration
posted above? Thanks in advance.Solaris does not support the promise (raid) controller. Move the
HD (and all the other ide devices you want to access from solaris)
to the VIA PCI-IDE controller.
The IDE disk is >32GB, so make sure you use the latest solaris 8
release or boot using the 110202-01 ata driver patch diskette.
Solaris driver patches
I'm not sure solaris will support your video card. You can skip
the video card/monitor/mouse setup during installation and install
in text mode. Once the system is installed, have a look at patch
109401-06, the solaris 8 x86 video driver patch. If this patch
does not add support for your video card, you either have to
install the xfree86 X11-Server or exchange the video card to one
that is supported by solaris.
The Soundblaster Live audio card is not supported by solaris 8.
You may have luck with the OSS (OpenSoundSystem) audio drivers. -
Installation of solaris 10 on 2 similar sparcs
Hi.
I have 2 t5120 sun enterprise systems. One is complete installed and RAID -1 was configured using hardware raid- raidctl on both systems.
I wanted to know if there is an easy way I can just take out the second disk (disk in right side slot when I am in front of front panel) from installed and running machine and insert into another t5120 in left slot ( I assume that it is going to be primary) and I will get a running OS on second machine without having to install OS again.
Is this doable ?I may be missing some steps , if so please correct me because last time I tried I got following errors :

Installation of solaris 10 on x86 intel dual core or core 2 duo
hi all,
while i am installing solaris 10 on x86 machine which has 250 GB hard disk and 4 GB RAM with intel dual core processor
the first steps are going cool i.e. in the first cd it asks about partitions and it is accepting the partitions and also the partitions sizes what i am giving are:
/ -- 30 GB, /etc -- 6GB, /home -- 6GB, /usr -- 6GB, /export/home -- 100GB, /var -- 9GB, swap-- 10GB
and after the first CD got installed it asks for restart the system and when it
boots then i am getting the booting option and i selected it as solaris and one more thing to tell is it has already Windows XP pro+sp2
after selecting it boots with solaris and
after few seconds it restarts
please tell me if any body knows that is there any compatability issue with the processor that solaris is not going to support for intel core 2 duo or dual core processors
