Device Drivers in BSP Development (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
A device driver presents a software abstraction of specific hardware functionality. Most often, device drivers expose implementations of peripheral device hardware to the OS for exposure by means of independent programming APIs. The device drivers that are required for a specific board depend on the peripherals, the features available on the board, and the board’s intended use. For detailed information about device drivers, see Plan Your Device Driver, Implement Your Device Driver, and Build and Test Your Device Driver.
