Design and Implementation of a Firewire Device Driver on FreeBSD
نویسنده
چکیده
A Firewire device driver has been implemented on FreeBSD system. The driver provides IP network stack, native socket system interface, and stream device interface such as a DV video. The device driver shows enough performance on the IP over Firewire environment at 30Mbps. Also, DV video communication application using IP has been developed with the device driver and it enebles DV quality communication between US and Japan only with the consumer market products.

The FreeBSD Audio Driver
We recently developed an audio driver in the FreeBSD operating system. In this work, we decided to consider compatibility with existing software interfaces only as a secondary issue, to be implemented at a later time and only for those applications which could not be adapted to the new software interface. This turned out to be a signiicant advantage , since it let us design the driver (and part...

The existing device driver framework in FreeBSD works fairly well for many tasks. However, there are a few problems that are not easily solved with the current design. These problems include having ”real” device drivers for low-level hardware such as clocks and interrupt controllers, proper resource discovery and management, and allowing most drivers to always probe and attach in an environment...

Developing access control extensions for operating systems is an expensive and time-consuming task. Mechanisms available for access control extension lag behind industry standard extension solutions for file systems, process schedulers, and device drivers, and suffer from a number of serious flaws in modern multi-processor, multi-threaded kernels. In this paper, we explore the limitations of cu...

FireWire audio devices are flooding the (semi-)pro audio interface market. At LAC2005, the FreeBoB project has been presented, aiming to implement support for devices built on top of the BridgeCo BeBoB platform. This paper discusses the evolution of the FreeBoB project towards a framework generic enough to support a virtually any FireWire based audio device, BeBoB based or not, conforming to th...
