I am posting this for a friend:
We are running Motorola Unix R3V5 on the 68020 and are having
trouble with several driver related things.
* Where can we find a device driver writing manual for this OS?
* Are there any internals manuals specifically for this OS?
* What kernel functions call the kernel sleep function and may
be interrupted?
* What happens when ioctl by an application is interrupted by a signal?
We have seen on Sun and HP Unix that the application gets an
error return, this does not appear to happen on Motorola.
* What interrupt level is the clock timer?
* When a kernel routine calls wakeup, is the awakened task
scheduled immediately or after the current running process completes?
Please respond as quickly as possible.
thanks
