Compile the driver.
Use the -D_KERNEL option to indicate that this is a kernel module.
If you are compiling for a SPARC architecture, use the -xarch=v9 option:
% cc -c -D_KERNEL -xarch=v9 lyr.c |
If you are compiling for a 32-bit x86 architecture, use the following command:
% cc -c -D_KERNEL lyr.c |
Link the driver.
% ld -r -o lyr lyr.o |
Install the configuration file.
As user root, copy the configuration file to the kernel driver area of the machine:
# cp lyr.conf /usr/kernel/drv |
Install the driver binary.
As user root, copy the driver binary to the sparcv9 driver area on a SPARC architecture:
# cp lyr /usr/kernel/drv/sparcv9 |
As user root, copy the driver binary to the drv driver area on a 32-bit x86 architecture:
# cp lyr /usr/kernel/drv |
As user root, use the add_drv(1M) command to load the driver.
# add_drv lyr |
List the pseudo devices to confirm that the lyr device now exists:
# ls /devices/pseudo | grep lyr lyr@1 lyr@1:node |
