james2mart Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Where can I get started learning to port device drivers from BSD to OS X/Darwin? I know that OS X runs similarly to BSD, but i want to know where to start the learning curve. A functional open-source driver has been released for the 3945abg wireless chipset and i wanted to figure out if it could be ported to OS X easier than a linux driver that relies on the binary from intel...

NeSuKuN Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 You should start learning about iokit, It appears to be the interface for osx drivers or a kind of sdk for it, I don't know what exactly is but good luck on your quest xD Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20137-bsd-port-to-os-x/#findComment-132551 Share on other sites More sharing options...
