This section provides a brief overview of the Uniform Driver Interface (UDI) and describes how to install and configure UDI drivers on SCO OpenServer systems.
The Uniform Driver Interface (UDI) is an operating system-neutral device driver standard. It defines a relatively autonomous, low-level I/O subsystem that completely surrounds conforming device driver modules, providing them with a consistent interface to and from the host operating system and among cooperating device drivers.
SCO OpenServer provides a UDI runtime environment (based on Version 1.01 of the UDI Specifications) that allows you to install and execute binary UDI drivers. If you want to develop UDI drivers, the UDI Development Kit is provided with SCO Open UNIX 8/UnixWare 7 products.
