During my Master of Science program at SIUE's CS Department, I developed a user-space device driver framework [pdf] [ps]. Its intention is to demonstrate a model of how device drivers can be created safer in a slightly higher-level language like C++.

The device driver manager's source code for the user-space device driver framework is available, and example drivers are included, along with unit tests of the entire framework. Along with the source code, API [pdf] [ps] documentation to the user-space device driver framework's source code is available.
