Writing a Configuration File

A driver that is not self-identifying must have a configuration file named node_name.conf, where node_name is the prefix for the device. A self-identifying driver is a driver that can obtain all the property information it needs from the DDI property interfaces such as ddi_prop_get_int(9F) and ddi_prop_lookup(9F). The minimum information that a configuration file must contain is the name of the device node and the name or type of the device's parent.

For more information about device driver configuration files, see the driver.conf(4) man page. For an example configuration file, see Writing the Device Configuration File.
