@lilezek : I think there are some differences between them. In linux you create a module and load it into kernel space using the 'insmod' command. but there is no such command in unix, as far as I know in sco. You should write your driver and compile it as an object file , put the object file in the directories below /etc/conf and next relink the kernel. I guess there should be some differences in driver overall template. The rest is common between them , yeah both of them use file system to create callbacks between kernel space and user space.
@jgt : Thnx , yes you're right , I don't know if I place the source code in appropriate directories the kernel gets linked but it doesn't matter :rolleyes: I have no sample for a driver written in unix. I think the overall structure for a C written driver is different in unix and linux. I say this based on some linux drivers I've seen before and the sample driver on aplwarence website. I need the template more than anything , the rest can be tested many times Thnx any way

This is a sample for a prallel port I've found on the net but unfortunately I can't compile it. I wanna use cc to compile this file , as you can see in the comments.
Any help on this ??!

/* Debugging Driver for parallel printer port.

NOT a drop-in replacement for SCO's lp driver!
Includes ioctl calls to examine & set driver variables.
You can speed it up, slow it down, and generally tune
it to the conditions at hand. The debugging mode gives
you the clues when something is wrong, and "lp2status"
lets you play.
Does not include the stty's that SCO supports!
Developed and tested on a Dell 486 running 3.2v4.0
To compile and link:
cc -c -Zp4 -K -M3 -DINKERNEL Driver.c
cp Driver.o /etc/conf/pack.d/lp2
cd /etc/conf/cf.d
./link_unix
Yoy will need an entry in /etc/conf/cf.d/mdevice:
lp2 ocIwi icH lp2 0 84 1 3 -1
(you can modify the "lp" entry for this purpose)
and in /etc/conf/sdevice.d/lp2:
lp2 Y 1 2 4 7 378 37f 0 0
And of course if your printer is *not* at 378 or at interrupt 7,
you need to change a few things.
The corresponding sdevice entry for "lp" should be marked "N"
Minor node 0 is non-DeBugging.
Minor node 129 is for ioctl; see "lp2status.c".
Minor nodes 1-3 are for DeBugging; 1 is the lowest level, 3 is the highest
(note that when a driver uses printf, as this does in DeBug mode, all output
is also written to /usr/adm/messages.)
Great fun to play with, and I have been using it for a long time now
as my normal parallel driver, but your mileage may vary, so caveat emptor
and cover your butt and all the other warnings. This is, after all,
a driver, and in (more than) theory, has the potential to muck your
system up pretty well. Read and understand *all* the code before
implementing.
