# Documentation

    Why device drivers in user space; different possibilities for getting
    device drivers; DDE's origins and rationale.

  * <http://wiki.tudos.org/DDE/DDEKit>

    Structural overview of the components.


# Discussion

DDE essentially is a glue layer to embed Linux device drivers into another
environement.  In the DDE case, this *other environment* is a user-space task
-- compared to the GNU Mach kernel having a *in-kernel* Linux 2.0 device
drivers glue code (cf. paper by Goel et al.).
