Sources of Information Structure and internal routines
John Angermeyer and Kevin Jaeger, MS-DOS Developer’s Guide, Howard W. Sams, Indianapolis, 1986 Ray Duncan, Advanced MS-DOS, Microsoft Press, Redmond, Washington, 1986 Robert Lai, Writing MS-DOS Device Drivers, Addison-Wesley, Reading, Massachusetts, 1992
Device driver basics Operating System modules that control hw Isolate higher levels from hw specifics Standard interface with OS Installable at boot time as a “chain” (CONFIG.SYS) Similar to Unix/Xenix/Linux device drivers Two types: Block and Character
General Structure
Device Header
Strategy Routine Called by MS-DOS when driver is first loaded Called by MS-DOS whenever I/O request is issued to device Request call includes a pointer to a request header; driver saves pointer and returns to MS-DOS Request header includes command code and other information
Interrupt Routine Called after the strategy routine Implements the device driver proper Performs the actual I/O operations Collection of subroutines to implement various functions (read, write, …) Centralized entry routine saves registers and sets up driver ops Centralized exit routine restores registers and sets status and error codes
Sample Command Codes 01H: Media Check 04H: Read 08H: Write 0DH: Open 0EH: Close
