In this paper, we propose a fault isolation system for device drivers of the Linux operating system. High availability systems impose stringent requirements upon Linux operating system. Especially device drivers can be a major source of operating system instability and many times contribute to system degradation and outages. The proposed fault isolation system identifies the occurrence of the memory-related faults in device driver and isolates it from the kernel. By operating at the early stage of the page fault handler in Linux kernel, the system detects which module causes fault and isolates it transparently from the remaining part of the kernel. By experiments, we show that the proposed system efficiently detects faults incurred by device driver, isolates the device driver and the process which accessed the driver module from the kernel.

The necessity of error test module is increasing as development of embedded Linux device driver. This paper proposes the basic concept of freed memory error test module in the Linux device driver and designs error test module. The USB device driver is designed for freed memory error test module. I insert the test code to verify the USB device driver. I test the suggested error test module for the USB storage device driver. I experiment error test in this module.

In this paper, we describe implementation of FPGA-based Nios II embedded processor system and linux device driver for image monitoring system which is supplement weakness for fixed surveillance area of existing CCTV system and by manual operation of the camera's moving. Altera Nios II processor 8.0 is supported MMU which is stable and efficient managed memory. We designed the image monitoring and control system by using Altera Nios II soft-core processor system which is flexible in various application and excellent adaptability. By implementation of camera device driver and VGA decvice driver for Linux-based Nios II system, we implemented image serveillance system for Nios II embedded processor system.

This paper describes an embedded system to put a SoC actuator IP in motion and linux drivers. The If that a embedded linux among embedded OS is ported is implemented as linux driver. The actuator IP is controlled by application programming. To make users use this easily, a QT is ported on the system. Application program can operate the actuator IP device driver on TFT LCD.

In this paper. we propose an architecture of IEEE1394 device driver for RTLinux. The device driver has two interfaces for applications running on the RTLinux kernel and Linux kernel. With the interfaces, the device driver simultaneously supports RT-Thread of RTLinux kernel and user level process of Linux kernel. This architecture could be a reference for designing other device driver on the dual kernel platform.

In the conventional UNIX system, the all device driver realized in the kern el. Hence, whenever we want to add a new device driver or change the existin g device driver, the modification of kernel is unavoidable. Generally, it is very difficult to modify the kernel codes.As a method of overcoming this difficulty, a TTY device driver model of user-level is presented in this paper. The basic concept of this model is providing a dynamic reconfiguration of TTY device driver by realizing a user-level server process for TTY device driver. In order to verify the proper y of this model, a prototype of TTY device driver has been realized in the SunOS and Linux environment and evaluated its performance.

본 논문에서는 정형기법을 이용한 리눅스 디바이스 드라이버 개발에 대한 내용을 다룬다. Device Driver 는 Reactive system에 속하는 대표적인 경우이다. 또한 Reactive system을 효과적으로 명세하고 검증하기 위한 정형기법 도구로 SCADE가 있다. 본 논문에서는 SCADE를 이용하여 실제 Linux device driver중 하나를 설정하여 이를 그 툴로 명세하고 검증한 후 구현한 후 발생한 여러 문제점을 통하여 실제 정형기법이 Linux device driver에 개발에 사용될 수 있는지를 논의한다.

In this paper, web based monitoring systems are implemented for multi-axis force control systems of an intelligence robot. A brief review about the principle of multi-axis force sensors and a method that can reduce the effect of noise signal to sensor performance is presented. A web based monitoring system is implemented by porting Linux at embedded systems which include Xscale processors. A device driver is developed to receive data from multi-axis force sensors in Linux operation systems. To control this device driver, a socket program for web browser is also developed. The experiments are performed to investigate the effectiveness of proposed methods. The experimental results show that the values of force sensors can be monitored by remote PCs.

An OS requires the device driver to control hardware IPs at application level. Development of a device driver requires specific acknowledge for target hardware and OS. In this paper, we present a system which generates a device driver together with an interface circuit. In the proposed system, an efficient device driver is generated by selecting a basic device driver skeleton, a function module code, and a header file table from the pre-constructed library and an interface circuit is constructed such that the generated device driver operates correctly. The proposed system is evaluated by generating a TFT-LCD device driver on the ARM922T core with 3.5 inch Samsung TFT-LCD in ARM-Linux environment. Experiment result shows that the writing time on the LCD is decreased by 1.12% and the compiled code size is increased by 0.17% compared to the manually generated one. The automatically generated device driver has no performance degradation in the latency of hardware control at the application program level. The system development time can be reduced using the proposed device driver generation system.
