The NetBSD Device Driver Writing Guide is an
introduction into NetBSD's &man.autoconf.9; system and the basics
of device drivers under NetBSD. As an example, a device driver
for a floppy drive under NetBSD was chosen, as the hardware and
necessary documentation was available but the driver itself missing.
NetBSD was chosen as the target operating system, as it lends itself
perfectly as a teaching example due to its clearly structured source
code and well defined interfaces.
The document was written by &a.jkunz;, who continues to improve and
expand it. All versions, including the latest development versions,
are also available from
.
