If you are developing drivers and testing them over the same machine… you are doing something wrong. It is recommended to have a virtual machine or another computer to test your code there, if not you might…

These drivers manage boards that use the IndustryPack® bus following the architecture “carrier-mezzanine”. This kind of boards is design for applications like process control, medical systems, telecommunication and traffic control.
