Kernel and device developer resources

[Ken Hunter]

I am searching the HP developer solution site for info. We've found quite abit of device driver info there - nice site folks!

Now - my question is - where/how do I get hold of the Kernel and device driver resource kits for developers?

I see a reference to these on the developer site - but can't find them. I've checked the software site - perhaps a CD or kit to purchase. Can't find it there either.

thanks in advance,

Ken :)

Does this site help you at all?

HP Development Tools

Thanks - I visited that site. There are several development products available - but none that deal with device drivers and kernel development .....

I know this is out there... someone has to know where this stuff is and how to get it......

Pleaeeeeeesssseeeee someone point me to this stuff....

thanks as always,

Ken

You probably want to look at the following site:

Thanks Luc - that looks like exactly what we're looking for.... :)

I spoke too soon...I went all around that site that Luc referred to... definitely a nice resource.... However - still no info on how to get the DDK.
Maybe I'm all wet or just plain blind. Could someone reply with the link to actually order the DDK or download the ddk?
I need the DDK for hp10.20 and hp11.11

I'm sooooo sorry for being a pain in the butt on this one .. but the DDK links in the resource sites seem to lead you in circles....

Thanks in advance...

Ken :)

Ken,

In the second link I gave you there is the following paragraph:

Where and how can I get the DDK?
The DDK is available on HP DSPP web site. See the Developing Device Drivers topic page. To get a CD media of the DDK, please contact us.

I would suggest you to click on the contact us link to send an email, and ask for some more details on this program:

http://dsportal.eservices.hp.com/dspp/fback/fback_SendFeedback_IDX/1,1291,10,00.html

The other solution would be to click on the DSPP and register on that site then click on the developing device drivers topic:

Luc,
thanks for all your help.

I went to the DSPP site and registered. The DDK is still not available for download - or I'm just blind or dumb beyond recovery.

I went the 'contact us' route.... I'm not sure how long it will take to get a response from this... I just want to get going on this and stop chasing the DDK :)

Can any of younz contact me via email to arrange getting the DDK CD for 10.20 and 11.x? I don't mind paying for them if there is a fee....

thanks again-

Ken,

I'm in class Monday, but I could try finding you somebody to call you and find the right resource to contact you.

Could you email me your coordinate to luc_bussieres@hp.com.
