Driver Guide Quick Start</title><shortdesc>Provides a brief overview of the contents of the Device Driver

Guide.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>The Device Driver Guide provides information about how to write and debug

a device driver. It describes how the device driver handles synchronous and

asynchronous requests and how it can be implemented in the kernel.</p>

<ul>

<li><p>For conceptual information and example code snippets about how to implement

asynchronous and synchronous requests see <xref href="GUID-79620372-BADC-4826-A3AC-7FDBCFF98DA9.dita">Device

Driver Concepts</xref>.</p></li>

<li><p>For information about the LDD/PDD model, interrupts, and memory management

in device drivers, see <xref href="GUID-CA788AFE-D425-4B72-B8A2-34D38A8C341B.dita">Device

Driver Writing Guide Quick Start</xref>.</p></li>

<li><p>For information about the commands you can use to debug your device

driver, see <xref href="GUID-26714A57-B6B4-5E81-B512-FB520718482B.dita">Debug Monitor

Tool</xref>.</p></li>
