There are 2 references on docs.sun.com: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-5789 The Device Driver Tutorial This tutorial provides hands-on information about how to develop device drivers for the SolarisTM Operating System. This book includes step-by-step descriptions of writing, building, installing, loading, and testing real device drivers. These instructions help you understand how drivers control devices. This book also gives an overview of the driver development environment, tools available to you to develop drivers, and techniques for avoiding some driver development problems.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4854 Writing Device Drivers This book provides information on developing drivers for character-oriented devices, block-oriented devices, USB devices, and SCSI target and HBA devices for the SolarisTM Operating System (Solaris OS). This book discusses how to develop multithreaded reentrant device drivers for all architectures that conform to the Solaris DDI/DKI. A common driver programming approach is described that allows drivers to be written without concern for platform-specific issues such as endianness and data ordering. Additional topics include porting Solaris drivers to a 64-bit environment; cluster-aware drivers; driver autoconfiguration; programmed I/O; Direct Memory Access (DMA); power management; device context management; compilation, installation, and testing of drivers; and debugging drivers.
