1. IBM DDK Discontinued!
Reply to this topic with quote Modify your message
" As of January 1st, 2004 updates to the OS/2 Device Driver Kit
have been discontinued.

http://www3.software.ibm.com/regsvs/ddk/

I copied this from the site. If one needs the files, it would be good if they were copied before they are gone.

Does anyone know where I can get the DDK now? I tried to call IBM but was flogged to death from one operator to another as they tried to find it under "hardware".

The files are still available on the ftp server. The following will get you there: ftp://ddkdnld:its5now@service.boulder.ibm.com/

I mirrored the files... One question would be: may I place the files in a public FTP?
I don't think so, but it doesn't hurt asking... (^=

It would be great if we could upload them to http://hobbes.nmsu.edu . I will go to the 'download' section of http://www.ibm.com and leave and ask at the 'feedback' section (I have made suggestions there before on a variety of things such as open sourcing OS/2).

7. Need MASM and MSC compilers!
Reply to this topic with quote Modify your message
I'm just wondering where to download masm6.0 and msc6.0
which I believe was available for download from IBM for compiling the device drivers. I'll be writing a device driver soon and would really like to get a copy of the compilers.

Any help appreciated.

Hi/2

In the link that "Davidfor" gave here in this forum, you will find v6 of MASM and MSC...

The V6 MASM and MSC are not on that site. Luckily I have them already.

In another note, what is everyone using for a kernel debugger? Does ASDT32 work under Warp 4.0? It just locked up for me.

I can't find a debug kernel (although I used one in the past, the chances of finding that version of OS2 and debug kernel are NIL). Are debug kernels available from anywhere?

Release Notes for the Microsoft® Macro Assembler
Professional Development System, Version 6.0

This document contains release notes for version 6.0 of the
Microsoft Macro Assembler Professional Development System for
MS-DOS® and the Microsoft Operating System/2 (MS® OS/2). The
information in this document and in the Microsoft Advisor (online
help) is more up-to-date than that in the manuals.

Microsoft improves its languages documentation at the time of
reprinting, so some of the information in this file may already be
included in your manuals.


But perhaps you're referring to something else...

I found the stash of kernel debuggers by looking for 'debug kernel' instead of 'kernel debugger'!

Just a couple of things from different post:

  • ICAT OS2 is the current kernal debugger. I assume it is at Version 6.02 as I have a zip file called ICOS602.zip. Unfortunately, I don't have a link where it came from.
  • Watcom C++ seems to be what is being used for device development. MSC6 still works, but, if you are starting a new driver, Watcom is the way to go.
  • There is a Yahoo Group for Device Driver developers. It's at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/os2ddprog/. It is a very good group for device driver developers (but useless for anyone else). A search of the posts in this group should find the current ICAT.
  • Whenever a new kernal is release, the debug versions are also released. These are normally put on testcase for a few days. They are archived at http://www.os2site.com/sw/upgrades/kernel/index.html.

How complete is the DDK2 project on netlabs? http://ddk2.netlabs.org . Perhaps it should be merged with the latest ddk from IBM and then the OS/2 and ECS community could contine using that site instead of IBM's. The only problem I see with this is as time goes on if IBM makes changes to any driver for ECS they will not be available (this is unless they made a deal with serenity to release it to registered customers) I guess they are just tire of people making free versions of the drivers which they charge for
