Call for Help!!!!
I am trying to write/install/debug a device driver for the UNIX PC (read 3B1 or
7300) and need a little help in a few areas. I'm running UNIX 3.5 :-) .
1) How do I allocate blocks of memory in the driver, malloc() is not
available (lddrv says its undefined when it tries to load).
2) Given that I somhow allocate ( dynamic or static ) memory, how do
I reference it when copying to/from the kernel disk buffers? Is
some mapping/translation routine needed.
3) Aside from my major problem above, lddrv gives me this error when I
'lddrv -av -o foo.o foo' :
Offending Msg-> BIND Failed: Invalid argument
Argument to What?
Please post any responses, I do not have regular access to usenet & am a guest
here.
BTW. Anybody in/near Hillsborough/Bridgewater NJ that could help me get
hooked up to Usenet - I'd be in your debt forever! (:-)
