Just as a warning I have been a lurker on this list for only like 4 months.
I found Farid Hajji's todfo list to be good. I have one idea for it.
In talking about the L4 user-land (drivers):
" Don't get too fancy here. As long as we don't have a stable driver
API, it would not be very useful to try to port Linux drivers to
this new architecture yet."
Sorry for my lack of knowledge about this, but what about something like the
Uniform Driver
Interface(UDI) at
http://www.projectudi.org/
This would seem very helpful in that it would give us a generic driver
interface from the start
and if people would use it then we could have more drivers more easily
Hope this is helpful,
Ed Page
ps: I currently program in C++. I have been interested in kernel programming
for a while and
epsecially this project, any ideas on resources to be help me learn more about
system programming?
