Where can I systematically study how to write Mac OS X device drivers?


I'm looking for an exhaustive, university-level book or guide to study in order to gain the ability of writing Mac OS X device drivers. I'm totally ignorant on this OS, but I'm already skilled on Linux.

Is there any Mac OS X counterpart for book "Linux Device Drivers"?

The best guide should introduce OS internals too, makes clear kernel space and userland differences and so on.

Thanks in advance


Solution

  • The Apple Developer Connection web site contains lots of documentation. There is a whole section on Hardware & Drivers here in particular a Getting Started document here. Probably the best overall introduction to OS X internals is Mac OS X Internals by Amit Singh.
