Features: This book introduces one aspect of μClinux kernel programming—writing device drivers using kernel modules. The main content includes:
- How to set up an ARM7 cross-development environment and how to port μClinux to an ARM7 chip;
- Analysis of a simple kernel module that has been successfully running on ARM7 in μClinux;
- Introduction to writing, compiling, and using character device drivers, block device drivers, and network device drivers in μClinux. These examples are compiled and used on the ARM7 platform but can be easily ported to other platforms.
This book is easy to understand and is a beginner-friendly guide to μClinux kernel programming. It also provides valuable reference material for experienced μClinux kernel programmers. It can serve as a reference for faculty and students in higher education institutions as well as embedded system application developers.
