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.
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。...
评分这本书的内容偏简洁,介绍了内核API和驱动程序设计中一些基本的概念,对于真实驱动程序设计中涉及到的一些技巧还是比较欠缺。对于PCI和USB的驱动,觉得本书论述得不够具体,看起来有难度;对于kobject的论述,也觉得不是很直观,不过前面关于字符设备的论述还不错,对内存分配...
评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...
评分ldd3被堪称设备驱动学习金典的确不假,但并不是每个新手都能吭下来的。新人学习还是推荐实战性强点的书,宋宝华老师的驱动开发或者精通Linux设备驱动程序开发都可以,这三本书我都稍微翻过...对于有点驱动开发积累的人,看看这本书我觉得还是蛮好的,很多点都已经点到,知道了...
评分大家好,《linux设备驱动程序》的代码基于2.6.10,在当前流行的内核上已不能编译。我已移植到3.0以上的所有longterm stable分支并测试正确运行。见https://github.com/duxing2007/ldd3-examples-3.x。
生吞活剥,硬是翻完了。帮助我理解了很多概念,特别是很少书涉及的PCI资源分配等硬件相关内容。本书细节很多,可以作为Linux驱动开发的API参考手册。要想真正理解某个子系统的概念,还是需要找专著,这本讲得太过泛泛。
评分在我读过的英文textbook里面算是比较烂的一本了,没有一个清晰的线索。不知道为什么被奉为经典。
评分相当经典classic
评分好歹啃完了一遍。感觉更像是工具书。不太适合“从入门到精通”。位列经典可能因为同类的书太少了。
