How to write hardware drivers
« on: August 16, 2007, 11:53:52 PM »
I would like to learn to write device drivers for the Amiga, but I have no idea where to start.

Any suggestions?

A worked example, or tutorial would be useful. I've seen a few for linux, but am not sure how relevant they are to writing drivers under AmigaOS.

Aside from writing a small database program in C a couple of years ago and writing a few graph drawing programs in basic, my programming experience is fairly limited. I look forward to the giddy heights of "Hello World".

I have a specific device in mind (fairly simple, scsi i/o device), but as I'm crap at actually getting around to things I don't want to say "I am going to write a driver for ....", as it may well never happen.

Thanks
