You cited the code for oskit_bus_t devices, which has nothing to do with the serial device in particular.
The code you cited is used if you do e.g. "storecat -Tdevice @". From that you can see the bus structure and then use other names starting with @ for "bus-walk" syntax as described in the comment at the top of oskit/unsupported/bus_walk_lookup.c. You might have meant to cite the code that uses oskit_stream_t. As the comment there says, that is a special case for the console. In ds_routines.c, notice the #ifdef oskit_streamdev_open parts. Perhaps you meant to cite that. It's in #ifdef because the oskit doesn't actually have an oskit_streamdev_t interface. I added that when I wrote the i8042 driver. You'll need to build your own oskit with those changes (which I must have posted here sometime in the past, or can again), and recompile oskit-mach with the new oskit/dev/stream.h header installed. That is the baseline for stream-like devices, and sufficient for the i8042 where you can get away without having any control operations. You need a lot more glue work in oskit-mach to support a set of control interfaces sufficient for serial devices. Once that is done, it will take some more hoops to use the freebsd sio driver that's in the oskit. What the oskit has is oskit_ttydev_t, which is a cop out using POSIX.1-style interfaces rather than true driver-level interfaces exposing the hardware models directly. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
