Previously we were sending the hardware completely garbage values, as CreateDescriptorChain clobbered the trbCount value it had set by using it to determine how many more TRBs it needed to allocate, and so it usually returned with the value set to 0. Then SubmitNormalRequest() would immediately subtract 1, causing it to become negative, and the loop would continue doing this, which also violated the spec's notice that the field should be 31 if its "true value" was >= 31, and of course 0 for the last TRB in the transfer. The spec also says this should be the number of packets remaining, not the number of TRBs remaining, which we also do not obey; but that will be a problem for another time, so just add a TODO.
Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!

Contributing documentation
The main piece of documentation that still needs work are the API docs (found
in the tree at docs/user). Just find an undocumented class, write
documentation for it, and submit a patch.
