Linux Device Driver Bible?
Is there a book on Linux device driver programming widely considered to be the best? (Like Kernighan-Ritchie is for C, Stroustrup for C++, Stevens is for TCP/IP).

I dont know if it is *bible* status but the Oreilly book is usually spoken well of..
here it is in all of its free ness |
I agree with Xhi about the O'Reilly book.
I would urge you to make use of each of these three resources: 1. Linux Device Drivers, 3rd Ed, Corbet, Rubini, Kroah-Hartman http://www.bookpool.com/sm/0596005903 <= Probably the best on the mechanics of coding, compiling and troubleshooting drivers 2. Linux Kernel Development, 2nd Ed, Love http://www.bookpool.com/sm/0672327201 <= Gives you the necessary background on how kernel drivers ... and the kernel in general - works. Absolutely essential background for *writing* kernel drivers. 3. The Linux kernel itself: http://www.kernel.org/ <= Linux kernel home page and downloads http:/www.tux.org/lkml <= Linux kernel developer's mailing list IMHO .. PSM |
