On Monday, June 13th (TOMORROW), at 18:30, Haifux will gather to hear
Eli Billauer talk about
The Anatomy of a PCI/PCI Express Kernel Driver (Part II)
----------------
To the extent possible, this talk will start exactly on time, and spend
the first 15 minutes on a quick recap of the previous talk. I would
suggest that whoever didn't attend part I made an effort to be on time
for the recap.

Abstract
Very few will ever need to write a PCI driver from scratch, and even
when apparently doing so, the kernel API parts can (and should) be
copied from similar, existing drivers. Unfortunately, reading the code
of a PCI/PCIe driver is nearly impossible without understanding the
twisted game it's playing with its hardware. This talk will attempt to
outline the interaction between the peripheral and its driver and show
the established components of the latter.
The talk's first half will be dedicated to understanding PCI hardware
principles, and the second to kernel coding. The talk is PCI Express
oriented, but this has almost no significance as far as the kernel
driver is concerned.
