  Tutorial: Porting Device Drivers for the Solaris Operating System to 64-Bit x86 Architectures

If you need to modify 32-bit device drivers to be compatible with the 64-bit Solaris 10 OS on x86 platforms, refer to this new article.

Tutorial Details:

Abstract: This document describes how to modify 32-bit device drivers that run on the Solaris Operating System (OS) to be compatible with the 64-bit Solaris 10 OS on x86 platforms.

8 Appendix

The capabilities of the Solaris platform continue to expand to meet customer needs. The Solaris 10 release is designed to fully support both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. The Solaris OS supports machines based on both 32-bit and 64-bit SPARC processors as well as 32-bit and 64-bit x86 platforms.

The primary difference between the 32-bit and 64-bit development environments is that 32-bit applications are based on the ILP32 data model, while 64-bit applications are based on the LP64 model. The primary difference between applications for SPARC and x86-based systems, from the driver developer's point of view, is big-endian versus little-endian translation.

To write a common device driver for the Solaris OS, developers need to understand and consider these differences.
