Hi, I am very new to device driver area and has some basic knowledge of char and block device driver and linux kernel. I am little bit aware of some of subsystem of kernel but I am not able to co-relate which device driver file is pure software driver and more or less part of kernel subsystem to achieve hardware abstraction and which driver files deals with real hardware. It would be great help if someone can provide some real example with some open hardware datasheet, some basic code snippet will help me a lot. Thanks, A Kernel Newbie
Same question from me...Please help us.... On Tue, Apr 12, 2011 at 1:15 AM, Naveen Kumar <navee83@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi there are some drivers code: http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/openwrt-xburst/source/tree/maste... you can find all datasheet here: http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/hardware/datasheets/qi_lb60/ hardware info: http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Hardware_basics http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Hardware_basics#Schematic the qi hardware is prompt "copyleft hardware" all source code is free software, all document is CC. maybe you can find some info on that project.

you can take a look at the OpenMoko project, I never gave a deep look at it, but it should be entirely open, even the hardware parts. bye -- -gaspa-

definitely not open then qi-hardware ben nanonote. Ben Nanonote simply, open and active now you can always get answer in qi-hardware list or IRC #qi-hardware @freenode.net ben nanonote have committed some code to linux.org you can find the it after 2.6.36 :) BTW: OpenMoko have canceled develop FreeRunner. the other device WikiReader is not base on GNU/Linux system. -- Best Regards Xiangfu -- Qi RSS feed, http://en.qi-hardware.com/feed/rss20.xml --
