Maximizing Platform Compatibility of I/O Kit Drivers

Essentials • 36:59

When writing I/O Kit device drivers, you need to support both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs, multiple operating system versions, and 32-bit and 64-bit address spaces, all from a single code base. Learn how to structure your driver and configure build settings to make this possible. Also learn how to use the Leopard user client APIs to enable communication between 64-bit applications and your driver.
