Design And Implementation Of Hardware Detection And Driver Adapter System On Linux Platform

Linux has been widely used in many fields,such as server,embedded system,mobile terminal system and so on.However,in the field of desktop computer,it is still difficult to popularize because of the objective reasons such as the monopoly of Windows.For the desktop computer users,a serious shortage of Linux is the hardware driver support is too little,installation and usage of the drivers is not convenient.The existing tools of hardware detection and driver adaptation in Linux operating system have too little functions,and the inerfaces are not friendly,which can not meet the requirements of users.The open source community Linux distribution comes with the hardware driver management tool Driver Manage,closed source graphics only NVIDIA and ATI support the driver installation,there is no automatic which Linux distributions have real meaning of driving adaptation tools.The main work of this paper includes: Based on Linux operating system related project implementation status and application of hot research,Linux hardware detection mechanism,hot swappable peripherals principle,hardware design to adapt to the detecting method of the tool needs;contrast research Windows hardware driver management tool mode of operation;the in-depth study of Linux driver adaptation strategy,hardware design and driving adaptation scheme;finally based on the analysis on the basis of the adaptation and drive system to realize the function of hardware detection,including machine / peripheral driver detection,driver installation,driver updates,drive backup,restore and drive DriverUnload,strive for the user to solve the Linux terminal device driver installation is difficult,difficult to upgrade and management the difficulties.This thesis realized the hardware detection and drive adapter system to replace the original hardware driver management tool Driver Manage,the Linux driver to fill the short board,this one at the same time,the foundation of the old Windows operating habits of users on the user to achieve good examination,promote the popularization and promotion of Linux desktop computer operating system.
