Device drivers play a critical role in how well a Linux system performs. As Linux has turned out to be one of the most popular operating systems used, the interest in developing proprietary device drivers is also increasing steadily. + +This book will initially help you understand the basics of drivers as well as prepare for the long journey through the Linux Kernel. This book then covers drivers development based on various Linux subsystems such as memory management, PWM, RTC, IIO, IRQ management, and so on. The book also offers a practical approach on direct memory access and network device drivers. + +By the end of this book, you will be comfortable with the concept of device driver development and will be in a position to write any device driver from scratch using the latest kernel version (v4.13 at the time of writing this book). + + +## Related Products +* [Linux: Embedded Development](https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/linux-embedded-development?utm_source=github&utm_medium=repository&utm_campaign=9781787124202) + +* [Embedded Linux Projects Using Yocto Project Cookbook](https://www.packtpub.com/virtualization-and-cloud/embedded-linux-projects-using-yocto-project-cookbook?utm_source=github&utm_medium=repository&utm_campaign=9781784395186) + +* [Linux: Powerful Server Administration](https://www.packtpub.com/networking-and-servers/linux-powerful-server-administration?utm_source=github&utm_medium=repository&utm_campaign=9781788293778) + +### Suggestions and Feedback +[Click here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe5qwunkGf6PUvzPirPDtuy1Du5Rlzew23UBp2S-P3wB-GcwQ/viewform) if you have any feedback or suggestions.
