Sounds good. Any concrete ideas? Is it for all devices or just part of
them? Seems it's difficult to directly make a set of generic interfaces
available for all devices. How about implementing the sub-interfaces for
each domain, and then gather and think about the generic interfaces.
Such as usb devices can have a userland driver based on libusb, some pci
devices can have a userland driver based on libpci+, ... etc.
Afterwards, an uplevel wrapper can be used to generalize the different
interfaces. Thanks.
There will be a set of interface common to all hardware and different
set of interfaces for different kind
of hardware, while the hardware will not be classified by bus type, but
by their function, such as
audio, usb, nic, etc.
I will post the design document. Stay tuned.
Cheers

Looking forward to more details.

Hi, everyone,
I would like to start a project to enable running a driver in usr mode
as an application.
By this way we can leverage source code from other OSes by converting them
into Solaris user application.
Also running in user mode make it easier to develop and debug. Maybe
more robust.
I would like to hear your opinions.
Thank you
