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 target driver for DFv1-to-DFv2 migration uses the Banjo protocol, you'll also need to migrate the driver to use FIDL to complete the migration.

Driver migration from Banjo to FIDL can be summarized as follows:

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