Rataxes

In the epitech cursus we have to realize a project named PFE (end of curses project). That s why we created rathaxes.


Rathaxes <1> will be a multi platform driver generator. This idea hinges around the fact that developping drivers is a difficult task because it requires developpement skills and electronic ones. Moreover the driver's specific code of an operating system is huge (about 70% for Linux) and this code is more buggy than other applications (7 times more).

To start we are going to use laurent reveillere's works and his thesis ''Approche langage au développement de pilotes de périphériques robustes" <2>. In this thesis, reveillere introduces the DSL/Driver concept. A DSL stands for Domain Specific Language, it is like SQL for the domain of databases.

For this project we will be helped by the LSE (System Laboratory of Epita) during the next two years<3> and his chief Lionel Auroux.
