OS2DD307 - Industrial Control Device Drivers
OS/2 2.x Industrial controller programming - Course OS2DD307
Enabling realtime hardware programming interfaces
Objective
To expedite industrial controller development by reviewing the techniques used to enable applications to utilize custom hardware (HW).
This class will identify the protocol on how to communicate with the HW using IOPL apps or device drivers. Installation and debug techniques will also be covered.
Target audience
IBM or IHV programmers who code device drivers for...
a. Custom I/O interfaces (A/D, D/A, etc) b. Bus type: ISA, EISA, VLB, or MCA.
Attendee prerequisites
- Programming expertise: C and/or MASM
- Have written other device drivers for IHV hardware DOS, ROM BIOS code, utilities
- Intimate knowledge of IHV hardware & programming protocol
- Purchased development software (OS/2 2.1, DDK, MSC 6.0, MASM 5.1)
- Helpful to be familiar with OS/2 Applications development.
Course length: 5 days
