PCI Support

Post by Ubu »

Hello,

I'm looking for a few good pointers and starting place. I would like to add pci support to my kernel so I can start to add devices such as network controllers.

Check out the Linux kernel. It's PCI routines
are pretty easy to understand and, I believe,
in the documentation direction, there are references
to where to get good PCI docs.

There is a PCI standards draft is online... wether
it's legal or not, I don't know (might be like the
SCSI draft, where you're supposed to pay for it)
