This might not be appropriate.
In fact, it might not be appropriate to use an IOKit approach at all.
Pavan appears to be trying to create a pseudo-device that looks like a
serial port in /dev.
We do this already with the xnu/bsd/kern/tty_pty.c driver, which is
the pty device driver (and not an IOKit device driver).
For an IOKit device driver, his problem isn't going to be writing the
code, so much as it is getting the "Driver Matching and Loading" of
the document that Dan references to actually trigger. There are a
couple of ways to do this without real hardware, but Active matching
isn't going to work, since there's no physically real unclaimed
hardware that the driver is trying to talk to in order to trigger it.
No trigger = no device node created.
There don't seem to be any good references on writing IOKit pseudo-
devices, other than the source code for several that we've published
through OpenDarwin.

Hi John,
2. attachToParent
2. attach is more appropriate.

Hi All,
I am writing a driver which creates virtual serial ports in /dev.
When I call registerService() on my object of class which is
inherited from IOSerialStreamSync(), this is what the error is
given as.
How do you create those objects? Have you put them through all the
usual states of an IOService/IORegistryEntry object? In brief this
is:
1. init
2. attachToParent
3. start
(4. usu from start: registerService)
The docs in the IORegisterEntry.h and IOService.h files may be
helpful (and there are probably even better docs about this
lifecycle but I'm sure you can go and search for those yourself :)
Requesting you to provide some pointers/reasons as to why this
error is coming up because of which I am not able see the nodes
created by my driver in /dev.
Extract from doc for IORegistyEntry::attachToParent:
"This is the usual method of entering an entry into the registry. "
Thaks in advance,
Pavan.
