drivers literally drive everything you're interested in--disks,
monitors, keyboards, modems--everything outside the computer chip and
memory. And writing device drivers is one of the few areas of
programming for the Linux operating system that calls for unique,
Linux-specific knowledge. For years now, programmers have relied on
the classic Linux Device Drivers from O'Reilly to
master this critical subject. Now in its third edition, this
bestselling guide provides all the information you'll need to write
drivers for a wide range of devices.Over the years the book has
helped countless programmers learn:
-
how to support computer peripherals under the Linux operating system
-
how to develop and write software for new hardware under Linux
-
the basics of Linux operation even if they are not expecting to write a driver
The
new edition of Linux Device Drivers is better than
ever. The book covers all the significant changes to Version 2.6 of
the Linux kernel, which simplifies many activities, and contains
subtle new features that can make a driver both more efficient and
more flexible. Readers will find new chapters on important types of
drivers not covered previously, such as consoles, USB drivers, and
more.Best of all, you don't have to be a kernel hacker to understand
and enjoy this book. All you need is an understanding of the C
programming language and some background in Unix system calls. And
for maximum ease-of-use, the book uses full-featured examples that
you can compile and run without special hardware.Today Linux holds
fast as the most rapidly growing segment of the computer market and
continues to win over enthusiastic adherents in many application
areas. With this increasing support, Linux is now absolutely
mainstream, and viewed as a solid platform for embedded systems. If
you're writing device drivers, you'll want this book. In fact, you'll
wonder how drivers are ever written without it.
