Mastering Linux Device Driver Development: Write custom device drivers to support computer peripherals in Linux operating systems

Full disclosure: I'm a fellow author for Packt Publishing.If you have a solid understanding of C-language programming and want to branch out into Linux device driver development, then this is the book for you. It's well-written, with clear explanations of concepts and code. It begins with an explanation of Linux kernel basics, and then progresses into explanations about how to create various types of drivers, for both normal and embedded systems. So, if you want to learn about creating drivers, go ahead and grab a copy without delay.

I have been reading this book for about 2 weeks now and it is really good. The author presents a lot of useful information in a very straight forward format. I wish this book had been around years ago when I was writing Ethernet drivers.

It covers all the topics and uses newer kernels. It focuses more on the frameworks and is crisp and concise. This is a good reference book if you already understand kernel and driver development and have some experience with it. This not an Introductory book on driver development and kernel programming.
