Contributing to Drivers
If you want to write drivers for Redox, datasheets are preferable, when they are freely available. Be aware that datasheets are often provided under a Non-Disclosure Agreement from hardware vendors, which can affect the ability to create an MIT-licensed driver.
If you don't have datasheets, we recommend you to do reverse-engineering of available C code of BSD drivers.
We recommend BSDs drivers because BSD license is compatible with MIT (permissive), that way we can reuse the code in other drivers.
