It'll be helpful.

Thank you all!

I don't think there is anything easier for getting started with device driver  
programming except maybe Essential Linux Device Drivers published by Prentice  
Hall, but it isn't free. This book has more-complete examples included, and  
also has more information about user space device drivers. On the other hand,  
the LDD3 book is better for learning the basics of writing kernel code.


It is easier to start with user space device drivers because you can use  
ordinary library functions in your code, and because the device driver  
library probably includes some complete examples already.

You also might want to check out Greg Kroah-Hartman's book, Linux Kernel
in a Nutshell:

 - http://files.kroah.com/lkn/

It will explain some of the basics required.

[Trisquel-users] Question about book Linux Driver Development (3rd edition)?

[longsong]

I have learned the book Advanced Linux Programming.
http://www.advancedlinuxprogramming.com/

I don't know whether I am able to learn the book Linux Driver Development  
(3rd edition).

https://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/

Is the book too difficult for me? Do I need to learn some other book first?  
If so, which book should I learn first?


Thanks!
