Yep, I believe the platform neutral device driver is the target of OpenSolaris.
But to this end, we'd better kick off the work on the easily approched
platforms. Please see the draft of the community below. I do know I miss lots
of parts in the scope, please feel free to add your comments.
Goal:
Add more hardware support in OpenSolaris
Scope:
Device drivers on Solaris x86, x64 and SPARC, specifically, including the
network (DLPI), disk (ATA, SATA, SCSI, RAID), USB, Video, Audio, Wireless
drivers and etc.
Roadmap:
Phase I:
- Collect documentation on development and testing drivers
- Blog on the existing support drivers on HCL
Phase II:
- Discuss about wishlist of Solaris device drivers
- Establish the channel w/ the IHVs who are happy to dance w/ OpenSolaris
Phase III: (Dependency on Phase II)
- Collaborate w/ IHV to integrate their drivers or
- Develop the new device drivers w/ the device vendors support
