As a driver author, you may find that you face a device that must download the firmware into it before it can support work. The competition in many parts of the hardware market is so strong that even a bit of the cost of the EEPROM used for device control firmware is not willing to spend. So the firmware is released on a CD along with the hardware, and the operating system is responsible for transmitting th
Overview:
Linux users often have difficulty identifying device names of the same type, such as eth0, eth1, sda, and sdb. By observing the kernel device names of these devices, users usually know what types of devices they want, but do not know which devices they want. For example, in a device name list filled with ephemeral disks and Fiber-Optic Disks (/dev/sd*),
The Linux driver registration process is broadly divided into two steps:
Module initialization
Driver Brochure
The following is a sample code PCI-SKELETON.C, which is provided by the kernel, to illustrate a PCI device driver registration process. Driver code for other devices The process is basically the same, you can check it yourself. The kernel code version number used is 2.6.38.1. Module Initialization 1.1 Driver entry all
Linux character device driver framework
Character device is one of the three major Linux devices (the other two are block equipment, network equipment), character equipment is the form of byte-stream communication of I/O devices, the vast majority of devices are character devices, common character devices including mice, keyboards, monitors, serial port, etc., when we execute ls-l/dev, Can see a large numb
Overview: Linux users often find it difficult to identify the same type of device name, such as Eth0, Eth1, SDA, SDB, and so on. By observing the kernel device names of these devices, users usually know what type of device they are, but they don't know which device they want. For example, in a list of

The three main members of Linux I²C subsystem I2c_adapter, I2c_driver and I2c_client are briefly described in (a). The relationship of the three is also described in the previous section. There should be a preliminary understanding of the Linux I²c subsystem. The following further analysis of their relationship to the code layer, I think the better the understanding of their relationship, the more conducive to the development

1. Background
Sampleblk is a Linux block device drive project for learning purposes. One of the Day1 source code to achieve a minimalist block device driver, the source codes only more than 200 lines. This article mainly revolves around these source code, discusses the Linux block device drive development the basic knowledge.
Developing a Linux driver requires a
User Space Device ManagementAll the devices that the user space sees are placed in the/dev directory (of course, just a directory, which can be changed), and the partition where the file system resides is also placed in that directory as a separate device. The previous version of the 2.4 has been DEVFS, this idea is very good, in the kernel to achieve dynamic management of disk devices. It can be done when

Block device?Bare devices: Also called bare partitions (raw partitions), is a special character device that is not formatted and is not unix/linux by the file system to read.

Linux Device Model
Looking at the device model chapter in LDD3, I felt a bit confused. Here we will take a holistic approach.
This article summarizes some content from four aspects:
1. Underlying data structure: kobject, kset.
2. linux device Model Hierarchy: bus_type, device, device_driver.
3. Integration: Simple Anal
For Linux systems, the function call relationship between the general character device and the driver is shown inDescribes the process by which a user-space application invokes a program through a system call. In general, in the driver design, the struct file and struct inode are the two structures.User space when opening a character device using the open () system call function ( int fd = open ("dev/demo"
the watchdog (watchdog) is divided between the hardware watchdog and the software watchdog. Hardware watchdog is the use of a timer circuit, its timing output is connected to the reset end of the circuit, the program in a certain time range to the timer 0 (commonly known as "feed the Dog"), if the program fails, not reset the watchdog during the scheduled period, Causes the watchdog timer overflow to generate a reset signal and restart the system. The software watchdog principle is just the same
