Linux and leaf drivers?
 

Hi there,

I hope I got the right forum, if not please excuse me.

So my question: Is there such thing like leaf driver in Linux, in correspondance to the Solaris nexus/leaf device driver tree?
I'm asking that in the context of writing a device driver for a custom hardware, which resides on a VME bus. I have a VME device driver for the 2.6.15 kernel working, and a device driver that was written for Solaris and I cannot understand wheather I should first write a leaf driver for the VME in order to communicate with my custom board under Linux?

Any suggestions / expplanations are wellcome.

Well, I suppose that after nobody replied, there is no such thing as leaf drivers on Linux, and everithing is wrapped in the bus driver.
