Description

Writing device drivers spends much time and makes efforts because it needs much knowledge of the target operating system (OS) and device. And, many device drivers must be written. This research aims at reducing the burdens of programmers who write device drivers by abstracting device drivers. As a preparatory research, this paper adopts Linux as a target OS and USB (Universal Serial Bus) device as a target device, and defines an algorithm for PROBE function of USB device drivers on Linux. USB device drivers on Linux are abstracted with dividing source codes of the device drivers by the algorithm. In addition, this paper tries dividing source codes of DISCONNECT, open, and close functions. It can assist the programmers in understanding structure or behavior of device drivers.
