内容提要
The book introduces its topics in ascending order of complexity and is divided
into two parts. The first part (Chapters 1 to 10) begins with the proper setup of
ker nel modules and goes on to describe the various aspects of programming that
you’ll need in order to write a full-featured driver for a char-oriented device. Every
chapter covers a distinct problem and includes a “symbol table” at the end, which
can be used as a refer ence during actual development.
Thr oughout the first part of the book, the organization of the material moves
roughly from the software-oriented concepts to the hardware-r elated ones. This
organization is meant to allow you to test the software on your own computer as
far as possible without the need to plug external hardware into the machine. Every
chapter includes source code and points to sample drivers that you can run on any
Linux computer. In Chapter 8 and Chapter 9, however, we’ll ask you to connect an
inch of wire to the parallel port in order to test out hardware handling, but this
requir ement should be manageable by everyone.
The second half of the book describes block drivers and network interfaces and
goes deeper into more advanced topics. Many driver authors will not need this
material, but we encourage you to go on reading anyway. Much of the material
found there is inter esting as a view into how the Linux kernel works, even if you
do not need it for a specific project.
