Hello, I am about to code my first kmod. I am trying to port an usb camera to FreeBSD, and since I am new at system development, I hope you don't mind helping me out. If this is not the correct list I should post, please point me what list I should post to. I got a few questions: * Does the 5 series differs too much to from the 4-stable to write a device driver? I am planning to code for 4.8 (the one I am using now) and I wonder how hard would it be to port it later to the 5 series. * I am reading the developers handbook, is there another good reference recommended? Any good point of reference for usb/camera protocols/device drivers? * You guys think it is too difficult and I should just give up due to my lack of experience? And if I manage to code properly, is it too bureaucratic to get it into the FreeBSD kernel? thanks, Paulo Roberto __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
