No need to buy any hardware.  Just look around you and see what you
already have. If you don't see anything you want to write a driver for,
then maybe you shouldn't.

Can you, in a few sentences, explain why the Linux community wants a driver
written by somebody who wanted to write a driver but didn't want to do the
testing needed to ensure it doesn't blow up the card, or burn out the USB hub,
or turn your dog green?

You can browse the staging directory in the kernel source and check.

Short answer:  One that you have the hardware for so you can actually test your 
code.
Nobody wants to see a driver for a Frobnozz 9000 graphics card written by 
somebody who
doesn't have access to a Frobmozz 9000 card for testing.

a Linux device driver

2018-06-04 Thread Abu Rasheda
Hello,

I am an experienced Linux kernel and driver developer and have some time! I
like to develop a driver for Linux open source.

Any recommendations what device driver is missing and open source
community could benefit from a new driver or enhance some existing driver?

Where could I go for such information?

As they say, kernel code is the better and updated
source/documentation. There is no an updated book.
