In a microkernel system device drivers are implemented as isolated user space components. No devices drivers, except from selected very low level devices like timer and interrupt controller, are implemented in the kernel.

Hi! This is very interesting!, is there any resource about what needs to be done for a user space component handling hw ? Thanks! On Thu, Jul 30, 2015 at 1:51 AM, Matthias Lange < matthias.lange@kernkonzept.com> wrote:

Nothing really different than what a in-kernel drivers needs to do. Programs (including drivers) get access to device's MMIO as well as to their interrupts. Besides that it can be an ordinary program. Adam -- Adam adam@os.inf.tu-dresden.de Lackorzynski http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/~adam/
