  Abstract

An OS requires the device driver to control hardware IPs at application level. Development of a device driver requires specific acknowledge for target hardware and OS. In this paper, we present a system which generates a device driver together with an interface circuit. In the proposed system, an efficient device driver is generated by selecting a basic device driver skeleton, a function module code, and a header file table from the pre-constructed library and an interface circuit is constructed such that the generated device driver operates correctly. The proposed system is evaluated by generating a TFT-LCD device driver on the ARM922T core with 3.5 inch Samsung TFT-LCD in ARM-Linux environment. Experiment result shows that the writing time on the LCD is decreased by 1.12% and the compiled code size is increased by 0.17% compared to the manually generated one. The automatically generated device driver has no performance degradation in the latency of hardware control at the application program level. The system development time can be reduced using the proposed device driver generation system.
