Description
Linux Device Drivers provides in-depth knowledge of writing device drivers for the Linux operating system. This guide covers the essential information needed to support computer peripherals and develop software for new hardware under Linux. The third edition of this popular book has been updated to cover significant changes to Version 2.6 of the Linux kernel, simplifying many activities and introducing subtle new features that can make a driver more efficient and flexible. New chapters on important types of drivers not previously covered are also included. With an understanding of the C programming language and some background in Unix system calls, readers can benefit from this book's full-featured examples that can be compiled and run without special hardware.
