Migrate from Banjo to FIDL

DFv1 drivers communicate with each other using the Banjo protocol. In DFv2 all communications occur over FIDL (Fuchsia Interface Definition Language) calls, for both drivers and non-drivers. So if your DFv1 driver being migrated to DFv2 uses the Banjo protocol, you'll need to update the driver to make only FIDL calls to complete the migration.

In short, migrating a driver from Banjo to FIDL involves the steps below:

  1. Update the driver's .fidl file to create a new FIDL interface.
  2. Update the driver's source code to use the new interface.
  3. Build and test the driver using the new FIDL interface.
