Linux Driver Tutorial

Here you can find examples for simple Linux Kernel Modules and Linux Drivers.

Preparation

I used a Raspberry Pi 3 to develop and test my modules and drivers. To compile them, you need to install the Kernel headers on your Pi. On Raspbian you can do this with the following command:

sudo apt install raspberrypi-kernel-headers

You also need the build utils (make, gcc, ...) but they come preinstalled on Raspbian.
