Jonathan Corbet got his first look at the BSD Unix source back in 1981, when an instructor at the University of Colorado let him "fix" the paging algorithm. He has been digging around inside every system he could get his hands on ever since, working on drivers for VAX, Sun, Ardent, and x86 systems on the way. He got his first Linux system in 1993, and has never looked back. Mr. Corbet is currently the co-founder and executive editor of Linux Weekly News (http://LWN.net/); he lives in Boulder, Colorado with his wife and two children.
Alessandro installed Linux 0.99.14 soon after getting his degree as electronic engineer. He then received a Ph.D. in computer science at the University of Pavia despite his aversion toward modern technology. He left the University after getting his Ph.D. because he didn't want to write articles. He now works as a free lancer writing device drivers and, um...articles. He used to be a young hacker before his babies were born; he's now an old advocate of Free Software who developed a bias for non-PC computer platforms.
Greg Kroah-Hartman has been writing Linux kernel drivers since 1999, and is currently the maintainer for the USB, PCI, I2C, driver core, and sysfs kernel subsystems. He is also the maintainer of the udev and hotplug userspace programs, as well as being a Gentoo kernel maintainer, ensuring that his email inbox is never empty. He is a contributing editor to Linux Journal Magazine, and works for IBM's Linux Technology Center, doing various Linux kernel related tasks.
Device drivers literally drive everything you're interested in--disks, monitors, keyboards, modems--everything outside the computer chip and memory. And writing device drivers is one of the few areas of programming for the Linux operating system that calls for unique, Linux-specific knowledge. For years now, programmers have relied on the classic Linux Device Drivers from O'Reilly to master this critical subject. Now in its third edition, this bestselling guide provides all the information you'll need to write drivers for a wide range of devices. Over the years the book has helped countless programmers learn: * how to support computer peripherals under the Linux operating system * how to develop and write software for new hardware under Linux * the basics of Linux operation even if they are not expecting to write a driver The new edition of Linux Device Drivers is better than ever. The book covers all the significant changes to Version 2.6 of the Linux kernel, which simplifies many activities, and contains subtle new features that can make a driver both more efficient and more flexible. Readers will find new chapters on important types of drivers not covered previously, such as consoles, USB drivers, and more. Best of all, you don't have to be a kernel hacker to understand and enjoy this book. All you need is an understanding of the C programming language and some background in Unix system calls. And for maximum ease-of-use, the book uses full-featured examples that you can compile and run without special hardware. Today Linux holds fast as the most rapidly growing segment of the computer market and continues to win over enthusiastic adherents in many application areas. With this increasing support, Linux is now absolutely mainstream, and viewed as a solid platform for embedded systems. If you're writing device drivers, you'll want this book. In fact, you'll wonder how drivers are ever written without it.
手头有两本,一本原版的,一本中译的。阅读原版的冲动屡屡受到my pool English的打击,所以特别感谢热心人整出来的中译本,都是熟悉的方块字,翻起顺手多了,呵呵。鄙人期间花了不少精力,在研究其中式表达想要说明的东东,但是这样也好,多花点时间没坏处,有助于深刻理解。这...
評分 評分该书对字符设备驱动和linux内核同步的介绍还是很详细的。虽然其中关于usb和pci的介绍有点笼统和不够清楚,不过也可以使读者有一定的了解。另外本书还介绍了网络设备驱动,块设备和TTY驱动,覆盖面还是挺广的。貌似驱动程序的范式就是注册设备,然后实现xxxx_operations的成员。...
評分本书是针对那些想在Linux操作系统下支持计算机外设或者是想在Linux下开发并运行新硬件的人而写的。Linux是UNIX市场中份额增长最快的操作系统,在许多应用领域中赢得了众多热心的追随者。本书展示了迄今为止流传于口头上的或隐含在源代码评注背后的信息,并引导您为众多的设备编...
評分不晓得是因为我看的翻译版本原因还是什么问题,反正我觉得这本书特别烂,烂到让我根本看不下去。 整本书给人的感觉不知所云,知识点很不集中,逻辑很不清晰,理论讲解十分不透彻,主要就是讲了要用哪些内核函数。还不如改名叫做《内核函数运用》。也没有什么太有内涵的代码。 ...
在我讀過的英文textbook裏麵算是比較爛的一本瞭,沒有一個清晰的綫索。不知道為什麼被奉為經典。
