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.

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.

A device driver is the core construction providing connectable rules between a hardware and an operating system in Embedded softwares. It provides consistent interface for the control and mutual interactions so that an application program can use hardware's functionalities. However, the device driver is suffered to develop as it is related to both hardware and software and it is also wasted to newly develop whenever hardware platform changed. Therefore, this paper researches the method to provide high portability in heterogenous hardware and finally suggests efficient device driver development.

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.

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 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.

This paper show Device Driver for RTOS-FT Systems. In this paper, a definition of Device Driver is introduced which is used in RTOS-FT Systems. The structure of Device Driver is briefly divided into physical layer and logical layer. The specific characteristic of Physical Held and logical field which is discussed in this paper is suggested for the system which is satisfied with fault-tolerant theory.

This study aims to provide a real-time information to the driver by effectively operating the advanced safety device attached to the freight vehicle, thereby minimizing insecure behavior of the driver such as speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden braking, And improve driving habits to prevent accidents and save energy. Advanced safety equipment is a device that warns the driver that the vehicle leaves the driving lane regardless of the intention of the driver and reduces the risk of traffic accidents by mitigating or avoiding collision by detecting a frontal collision during driving.The main contents of this report are as follows: In case of installing a warning device on a lane departing vehicle (excluding a light vehicle) and a lorry or special vehicle with a total weight exceeding 3.5 tonnes, the driver must continue to operate unless the driver releases the function.In addition, when the automatic emergency braking system is installed, the structure should be such that the braking device is operated automatically after warning the driver when the risk of collision with the running or stopped vehicle in the same direction is detected in front of the driving lane.

In this paper device driver for camera capture in hand held mobile system is implemented based on microsoft windows CE operating system. We also study the storage device driver based on the FAT fie system by using NAND flash memory as a storage device. We use the MBA2440 PDA board for implementing the hardware for image capture by using CMOS camera module producted by PixelPlus company. This camera module has VGA $640{\times}480$ pixel resolution. We also make application program which can be cooperated with the device driver for testing its performance, for example image capture speed and quality of captured image. We check that the application can be cooperated well not only with the device driver for camera capture but also with the device driver for FAT file system designed especially for the NAND flash memory.

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop the adaptive device for severe physical disabilities using smart device in the driving simulator and its performance evaluation. Development of appropriate driving adaptive device for the people with serious physical limitation could contribute to maintain their community mobility. Background: There is lack of adaptive driving devices for the people with disabilities in Korea. However, if smart device systems like iPod and iPhone are used for driving a car, the people with serious physical limitations can improve their community mobility. Method: Both gyroscope and accelerometer from iPod were used to measure the tilted angle of the smart device for driving. Customized Labview program was also used to control three axis motors for steering wheel, accelerator and brake pedals. Thirteen subjects were involved in the experiment for performance evaluation of smart device in simulator. Five subjects had driver licenses. Another four subjects did not have driver licenses. Others were people with disabilities. Results: Average driving score of the normal group with driver license in the simulator increased 46.6% compared with the normal group without driver license and increased 30.4% compared with the disabled group(p<0.01). There was no significant difference in the average driving score between normal group without driver license and disabled group(p>0.05). Conclusion: The normal group with driver license showed significantly higher driving score than other groups. The normal group without driver license and disabled group could improve their driving skills with training in simulator. Application: If follow-up studies would be continued and applied in adapted vehicle for on road environment, many people with more severe disabilities could drive and improve the quality of life.
