Sun has enhanced the tools and resources needed by developers writing device drivers for the Solaris Operating System (SPARC or x86). Developers are encouraged to visit the driver developer Web site, which contains extensive documentation and tools. Recent updates include new sample source code, a kernel source level debugger, and a Solaris software interface compliance tool. This Web site is part of a larger hardware certification program, which includes both systems and driver certification for IHVs and OEMs. Certification enables third-party products to be listed in the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL), which customers use as a buyer’s guide for selecting peripherals.
