Yes, there is a "Kernel Extensions and Device Driver Support Programming
Concepts" book online, in the Programming Guides.
That will give you a start, but I would recommend taking the "AIX Device
Drivers" class, if you are serious about this driver. There is just too much
to it, considering 32/64 bits, MCA/PCI, ODM, etc. I took it, and I was
extremely satisfied with the quality of the material (we were sitting in the
classroom until Friday late evening, which doesn't happen too often with
other IBM classes, which are usually out Friday noon).

Subject: Write an AIX device driver
Hello,
I have a software device driver I've written for linux and already
ported (in the looses sense of the word) to Solaris. I want to port the
same driver to AIX, but I can't find the documentation I need. I've seen
references to a manual "Writing Device Drivers for AIX" IBM pubs number
SC23-2593-03. But IBM have told me that is no longer available and is
out of print.
I've searched http://www.ibm.com/servers/aix/library/techpubs.html
but couldn't find what I need. Can anyone recommend a book or manual
about writing AIX device drivers?
Many Thanks
Paul Winder
