I have need of SunOS information which would allow us to implement a VME
backplane TCP/IP mechanism. I have tried to get information from my local
Sun office without success. In particular, my configuration is a Sparc 6U
VME board communicating via shared VME memory with a 68030 based real-time
CPU. I can't seem to get any information from SUN on how an experienced
user can implement a send-a-packet/receive-a- packet style of driver from
Sun. I've been told that the typical Ethernet interface driver is
"special", and is not implemented as a typical character type device
driver.
The real-time side of the picture is already completed; what I need is
information to allow me to write a new SunOS driver to complete my
application.
Any direct information on this topic, or direction to a "real" answer-man
at SUN would be appreciated.
