11.1 Probe and Attach
11.2 Bus Resources

This chapter will talk about the FreeBSD mechanisms for writing a device driver for a device on a PCI bus.

11.1 Probe and Attach

Information here about how the PCI bus code iterates through the unattached devices and see if a newly loaded kld will attach to any of them.

11.1.2 Makefile for Sample Driver

# Makefile for mypci driver

KMOD=	mypci
SRCS=	mypci.c
SRCS+=	device_if.h bus_if.h pci_if.h

.include <bsd.kmod.mk>

If you place the above source file and Makefile into a directory, you may run make to compile the sample driver. Additionally, you may run make load to load the driver into the currently running kernel and make unload to unload the driver after it is loaded.
