This course covers the design and implementation of device drivers for the Linux operating system. Interfaces to the Linux kernel for writing a device driver, and debugging techniques are presented. Students will work on projects to write a device drivers.

Fundamentally, a device driver implements the interface between a piece of peripheral hardware and the application. In a traditional unprotected, “flat�memory model system, a driver may be little more than a set of functions conforming to a well-defined API and statically linked into an executable image.

But in the context of a protected mode operating system such as Linux, device drivers take on added significance owing to the distinction between User space and Kernel space. This 3-day...
