Master the art of developing customized device drivers for your embedded Linux systemsKey FeaturesStay up to date with the Linux PCI, ASoC, and V4L2 subsystems and write device drivers for themGet to grips with the Linux kernel power management infrastructureAdopt a practical approach to customizing your Linux environment using best practicesPurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free eBook in the PDF formatBook DescriptionLinux is one of the fastest-growing operating systems around the world, and in the last few years, the Linux kernel has evolved significantly to support a wide variety of embedded devices with its improved subsystems and a range of new features. With this book, you’ll find out how you can enhance your skills to write custom device drivers for your Linux operating system. Mastering Linux Device Driver Development provides complete coverage of kernel topics, including video and audio frameworks, that usually go unaddressed. You’ll work with some of the most complex and impactful Linux kernel frameworks, such as PCI, ALSA for SoC, and Video4Linux2, and discover expert tips and best practices along the way. In addition to this, you’ll understand how to make the most of frameworks such as NVMEM and Watchdog. Once you’ve got to grips with Linux kernel helpers, you’ll advance to working with special device types such as Multi-Function Devices (MFD) followed by video and audio device drivers. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to write feature-rich device drivers and integrate them with some of the most complex Linux kernel frameworks, including V4L2 and ALSA for SoC.What you will learnExplore and adopt Linux kernel helpers for locking, work deferral, and interrupt managementUnderstand the Regmap subsystem to manage memory accesses and work with the IRQ subsystemGet to grips with the PCI subsystem and write reliable drivers for PCI devicesWrite full multimedia device drivers using ALSA SoC and the V4L2 frameworkBuild power-aware device drivers using the kernel power management frameworkFind out how to get the most out of miscellaneous kernel subsystems such as NVMEM and WatchdogWho this book is forThis book is for embedded developers, Linux system engineers, and system programmers who want to explore Linux kernel frameworks and subsystems. C programming skills and a basic understanding of driver development are necessary to get started with this book.

Linux is by far the most-used kernel on embedded systems. Thanks to its subsystems, the Linux kernel supports almost all of the application fields in the industrial world. This updated second edition of Linux Device Driver Development is a comprehensive introduction to the Linux kernel world and the different subsystems that it is made of, and will be useful for embedded developers from any discipline. You'll learn how to configure, tailor, and build the Linux kernel. Filled with real-world examples, the book covers each of the most-used subsystems in the embedded domains such as GPIO, direct memory access, interrupt management, and I2C/SPI device drivers. This book will show you how Linux abstracts each device from a hardware point of view and how a device is bound to its driver(s). You'll also see how interrupts are propagated in the system as the book covers the interrupt processing mechanisms in-depth and describes every kernel structure and API involved. This new edition also addresses how not to write device drivers using user space libraries for GPIO clients, I2C, and SPI drivers. By the end of this Linux book, you'll be able to write device drivers for most of the embedded devices out there.
