Description
Daniel McCarthy has worked in senior Linux kernel development positions creating third party kernel drivers for the Linux kernel for a private company. This course is designed for beginners who want to learn kernel development
Have you ever wanted to create your very own Linux kernel module and start writing kernel code?
Well this step by step course is designed to teach you just that, we start off by installing all the dependencies we need, then we create the simplest kernel module we can a “Hello World” module that just prints “Hello World” from kernel space.
Finally we create a character device module that allows user programs to send data to us and read data from us. Think “/dev/random”
During the time I taught myself how to write kernel drivers a lot of the time I found articles from 2004 and they were outdated, this makes kernel development very difficult but I learnt a trick to make it all easier which I share in this course.
This course is designed to clear up all the misconceptions every detail of what we are doing is explained in depth and nothing is left out
Taught by an expert that that has created kernel modules professionally in the work place.
