Device driver development books

This book covers all about device driver development, from char drivers to network device drivers to memory management. What You Will Learn Use kernel facilities to develop powerful drivers Develop drivers for widely used I2C and SPI devices and use the regmap API Write and support devicetree from within your drivers. Get to grips with the PCI subsystem and write reliable drivers for PCI devices; Write full multimedia device drivers using ALSA SoC and the V4L2 framework; Build power-aware device drivers using the kernel power management framework; Find out how to get the most out of miscellaneous kernel subsystems such as NVMEM and Watchdog; Who this book is for.  · One thing to beware of is the device driver development (architecture and tools) changes more than Win32 development so while Petzold's book from the s is fine for Win32 and may be considered a timeless classic, the architecture for many kinds of drivers (printer drivers, network drivers, etc.) has varied in various O/S releases.

Get to grips with the PCI subsystem and write reliable drivers for PCI devices; Write full multimedia device drivers using ALSA SoC and the V4L2 framework; Build power-aware device drivers using the kernel power management framework; Find out how to get the most out of miscellaneous kernel subsystems such as NVMEM and Watchdog; Who this book is for. By the end of this book, you will be comfortable with the concept of device driver development and will be in a position to write any device driver from scratch using the latest kernel version (v at the time of writing this book). This book does not focus on the development of complex kernel frameworks more suitable for kernel developers, but on the development of drivers that control external devices or sensors that communicate via SPI or I2C, as well as drivers that control GPIOs, manage interrupts and need to control internal registers of the processor.

21 ມ.ນ. The second book – Linux Kernel Programming Part 2 – Char Device Drivers and Kernel Synchronization – deliberately covers just a small. This book also gives an overview of the driver development environment, tools available to you to develop drivers, and techniques for avoiding some driver. 8 ມ.ກ. With this book, you'll find out how you can enhance your skills to write custom device drivers for your Linux operating system. Mastering Linux.
