Who is this Book for?
This book is ideal for Linux embedded application developers that want to know how to develop
drivers from scratch. It is also indicated for embedded software developers that have developed
drivers for non-Device Tree kernels and want to learn how to create new Device Tree-based ones.
And finally, it is for students and hobbyists that want to learn how to deal with the low level
hardware of embedded platforms using Linux. Before reading this book, having prior, basic
knowledge of C language, Linux embedded and Yocto Project tools would be helpful, though not
mandatory.
This book is a learning tool to start developing drivers without any previous knowledge aboutthis field, so the intention during its writing has been to develop drivers without a high level of
complexity that both serve to reinforce the main driver development concepts and can be a starting
point to help you to develop your own drivers. And, remember that the best way to develop a
driver is not to write it from scratch. You can reuse free code from similar Linux kernel mainline
drivers. All the drivers written throughout this book are GPL licensed, so you can modify and
redistribute them under the same license.
Embedded systems have become an integral part of our daily life. They are deployed in mobiledevices, networking infrastructure, home and consumer devices, digital signage, medical imaging,
automotive infotainment and many other industrial applications.
==>You will work with LTS kernel 4.9.y releases to develop all the drivers throughout this book.
