This case is to make a minor update to the Amaranth project to support Windows 7 and Solaris for SPARC OS. It requests a minor release binding to the Sun Device Detection Tool product. I have marked it as "closed approved automatic" since the change is straightforward and the interface is clear. -Frank 4. Technical Description: 4.1 Background Sun Device Detection Tool is described in [1], [2] and [3]. It collects device information through OS API on Solaris, Linux, Windows, Mac and FreeBSD OS; compares the collected data with a driver database to determine whether there is a Solaris driver available for the device; and generates a report finally. 4.2 Proposal This project is to extend the OS coverage of this product to include Windows 7, Windows server 2008, and Solaris for SPARC, so that SUN SPARC users and more Windows users could easily know whether PCI devices in their system have drivers in Solaris OS. 4.5 Interfaces Interfaces Imported: --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Os Type | Interface | Purpose | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Windows 7 | Win32 API | Reading device data from registry | | and Windows | | through Win32 API | | Server 2008 | WMI | Get system information through | | | | windows management interface. | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Solaris | libdevinfo | Looking up PCI nodes in prom tree and | | for SPARC | | reading device data from the nodes | --------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.
