3rd Party Call Back Driver

[OuticNZ]

Hey, Looking at the 3rd party driver used it seems to come from Eldos https://www.callbacktechnologies.com/ They look like they have repackaged and on the surface are doing very similiar things to what this does. Is there a difference? Also what function purpose does this driver perform in this project? Just wondering if it can be done without the 3rd party driver.

That is correct

They look like they have repackaged and on the surface are doing very similiar things to what this does.

They have, and I have not had time to keep up with the latest release, and rewrite the code to deal with the new features.

Is there a difference?

The Breakout of the different features within the CBFS Suite will now make it easier for developers to target functionality that they require.

Also what function purpose does this driver perform in this project?

It allows the merging of physical drives appear as a single entity, regardless of their original sizes; i.e. the software using the drive appears to be an actual physical entity.

Just wondering if it can be done without the 3rd party driver.

Nope, need to get in earlier, before the OS abstracts the storage functionality away from the HAL.
