Xinuos Hardware Developers Kit Web Pages

Welcome to the Xinuos Hardware Developers Kit (HDK) web pages for developing device drivers. These web pages provide downloadable files for the three HDK components: documentation, sample drivers, and test suites.

The HDK is provided for the following Xinuos platform releases:

  • OpenServer 6
  • UnixWare 7.1.4

Note: Also supported are the following platforms: OpenServer 5.0.7, OpenServer 5.0.6, and UnixWare 7.1.3.

The HDK is supported on these platforms with the latest operating system Release Supplement or Maintenance Pack applied. The actual device driver interfaces, standard utilities, and files used for device driver development are included in the standard Xinuos operating system platform products.
