Abstract

Today s operating systems consist in large parts of device drivers. Developers of new operating systems are confronted with the task of creating drivers that support as much devices as possible with usually very limited manpower.

ATHOMUX, which is the prototype of a new operating system, runs in the Linux userspace and doesn t have any drivers yet. In contrast to that, Linux itself has a large number of device drivers and is available as source code under the same license as ATHOMUX.

This thesis analyzes the possibilities of making the Linux device drivers accessible to ATHOMUX.
