Hi, Medeiros Edward M NPRI a écrit : > Thank you for your reply. I am not implementing either a "block" or > "char" driver but rather a PCI device driver based on "pci_skel.c" You are making a confusion here: the fact that a driver is "block" or "char" has nothing to do with the underlying mechanism used to communicate with the devices. For example, the ATA driver is a block driver, because it allows to access hard drives, CD-ROM drivers, etc. But to access the ATA controllers, it uses the PCI bus. There are also block driver or character drivers that work over the USB bus, for example.
