| Abstract | Device drivers are difficult to write and error-prone. They are usually written in low-level languages with minimal type safety and little support for device driver semantics. As a result, they have become a major source of instability in operating system code. This paper presents NDL, a type-safe, platformindependent Network Device Language. NDL provides high-level abstractions of device resources and constructs tailored for the expression of common device driver operations. We show that NDL allows for the coding of a robust and efficient driver with a code size reduction of approximately 45%. |
