Hi,
Can somebody let me know from where can we get the device specification, which are needed to write any driver.
I mean where can we find the details of devices ?
I know the manufactures have the full detail, but nomally are they willing to share those details with us.
Is there any site where we can find the details of specific devices by specific manufacture ? This site can help drivers to find the relevant information at one place.
I want to write the driver for my DELL keyboard. Where can I find its detail ?
Gaurav.
hi,
AFAIK, The drivers for keyboard is generic. So, you dont need to write special code for keyboard from dell or compaq (for same arch ie 1386).
For eg, in all x86 compatibles, port 0x60-0x64 is used and same IRQ 1. There is no special port or irq for dell or compaq.
This link will be helpful for you. see the human interface devices.
