Hi, A good idea for a very interesting subject ! I'm also interested, and I also do think that two lectures on this are better than one, if it is possible from your side. DanS On Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 11:33 PM, Eli Billauer e...@billauer.co.il wrote: Hi all, These days I'm working on making

OK, thanks, I got the hint. :) As for the taking a double slot: I know the tradition of going into the small details, so yes, including how to write a driver down to the code level would indeed take two slots at least. This was not my intention, since I've learned that all these details are

Hi all, These days I'm working on making a PCI Express interface in hardware (FPGA) and writing a Linux driver for it. When I'll be done with that, I suppose I'll know a thing or two about the PCI bus. Now, not that it's something to happen in the near future, but I just wondered: What's

Oh, that's a good idea! I'm interested. It will be great to make some order in my head redrawing that PCI thing. I'll be glad to hear about both PCI and PCIe. And your lecture agenda sounds just right. On 15 בפבר 2011, at 23:33, Eli Billauer e...@billauer.co.il wrote: Hi all, These days I'm

me too. are you sure a single lecture will suffice for these two topics (i.e. both hardware coverage, and PCI drivers coverage)? also, since the drivers coverage will probably assume basic knowledge of writing drivers, while the hardware thing can be interesting to non-kernel-programmers as well
