[Johannes 4GNU_Linux] has been filming a video series on how to write Linux device drivers for a couple of years now, but luckily, you won’t need that long to watch them or to create your own driver.

In theory, writing a Linux device driver shouldn’t be that hard, but it is harder than it looks. However, using libusb, you can easily deal with USB devices from user space, which, for many purposes, ...

With the plethora of operating systems available, a common problem for an independent hardware vendor is how to develop, maintain, and support device drivers for products. Although using a CDL (common ...

This course provides an introduction to Kernel programming for the Linux operating system, and the development of Linux kernel drivers for Embedded devices. The Yocto build system is introduced, which ...

Kernel drivers are the bridge between the Linux operating system and the hardware components of a computer. They play a crucial role in managing and facilitating communication between the OS and ...

Microsoft's proprietary protocol, Remote Network Driver Interface Specification (RNDIS), started with a good idea. It would enable hardware vendors to add networking support to USB devices without ...

Here are the benefits and some caveats to running data-path applications in the user space. Discussed is Linux's UIO framework. Traditionally, packet-processing or data-path applications in Linux have ...

Something to look forward to: Users interested in new chip architectures like Raptor Lake, Arc Alchemist, or RDNA 3 will receive expanded Linux support with the release of the OS' latest kernel. Linux ...

After years of hinting, Nvidia announced yesterday that it would be open-sourcing part of its Linux GPU driver, as both Intel and AMD have done for years now. Previously, Linux users who wanted to ...
