# Drivers
This document covers the driver details/status.
This document covers the driver details.
Implemented devices/hardware interfaces:
## Hardware Interfaces and Devices
- ac97d - Realtek audio chipsets.
- acpid - ACPI (incomplete).
```
- Lack of drivers for devices controlled using AML
- The AML parser does not work on real hardware
- It doesn't use any ACPI functionality other than S5 shutdown
- Needs to implement something like "determine the battery status" on real hardware (hard)
```
- ahcid - SATA.
- alxd - Atheros ethernet (incomplete).
```
- Lack of datasheet to finish
```
- amlserde - a library to provide serialization/deserialization of the AML symbol table from ACPI (incomplete).
- bgad - Bochs emulator/debugger.
- block-io-wrapper - Library used by other drivers.
- e1000d - Intel Gigabit ethernet.
- ided - IDE.
- ihdad - Intel HD Audio chipsets.
- inputd - Multiplexes input from multiple input drivers and provides that to Orbital.
- ixgbed - Intel 10 Gigabit ethernet.
- nvmed - NVMe.
- pcid - PCI.

```
- Need to determine a way to allocate memory under 16MiB for use in ISA DMA
```
Some drivers are work-in-progress and incomplete, read [this](https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/drivers/-/issues/41) tracking issue to verify.
- usbctl - USB control (incomplete).
```
- Missing class drivers for various classes
```
- usbhidd - USB HID (incomplete).
```
- Has tons of descriptors that are possible, not all are supported
```
- usbscsid - USB SCSI (incomplete).
```
- Missing class drivers for various classes
```
- vboxd - VirtualBox guest.
- vesad - VESA.
- virtio-blkd - VirtIO block device (incomplete).
