i want to compile the device driver programming...what is the produre to include an module....what are all the things i have to do...and how to do that things....please anyone help me....

Not sure what you're trying to say...your question isn't very clear. I'm assuming you mean "I want to learn how to write linux device drivers".

From a quick Google search:

http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/.../drivers_linux
http://www.freeos.com/articles/2677/

There are books available, along with lots of resources on Google.

This book might be useful:

Hi,

Module programming (as everything which are in touch with the kernel) are something very difficult for beginners, you have to basically understand how the kernel works, you have to be a good C practicer, and you have to know how to search for resources on internet, within the kernel sources and so on... I say that not only to blame you, but you can't learn such a vast thing by asking!

By the way, I give you some pointers:
-take a look into the kernel sources documentation, and into the sources by themselves
-you can download this book for free: http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/
-many websites discuss about the linux kernel, some examples: http://kernelnewbies.org/ http://lwn.net http://www.makelinux.net/kernel_map http://lxr.linux.no/ http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/KernelAnalysis-HOWTO.html

You can look up (and download) "Linux Device Drivers" 3rd edition by Rubini, Corbet, Kroah-Hartman.

I've merged two of your four closely related threads, and
moved the result to programming. I'd ask that you a) don't
"spread the love" around but keep to one thread, and b) would
like to suggest that you start reading, and actually working
with the things you intend to use. You won't become a kernel
hacker by asking people about basics.



Cheers,
Tink
