first, what is the driver
According to Baidu Encyclopedia: driver, English name is "Device Driver", all called "Device Driver", is a kind of special program that can make computer and equipment communicate, can say the interface of hardware, the operating system can control the work of hardware equipment only through this interface, If a device driver is not properly installed, it will not work properly. Therefore, the driver is known as "the soul of the Hardware", "The Master of Hardware", and

In the fourth chapter of the book "Linux device Drivers", we specialize in the debugging technology in driver development.PRINTK is just one of the techniques that requires PRINTK to print messages and write to files on disk, which slows down the entire code execution speed.There are also debugging techniques, and the effect on Code execution speed is smaller than prink.In this, we can have the driver create the file in the proc file system and write
The Windows 7 system greatly enhances the compatibility of the surrounding hardware, itself integrates a lot of drivers, including the printer, scanner, camera, mobile phone, MP3, MP4 player, etc. direct recognition, commonly used models can be used without the installation of Third-party drivers can automatically identify the use. However, occasionally unrecognized hardware, but also to install the driver,
question: I want to know what modules are built into the kernel in the Linux system and what parameters each module has. Is there a way to get a list of built-in modules and device drivers, along with their detailed information?
The modern Linux kernel is growing rapidly over time to support a large number of hardware, file systems, and network functions. During this time, the introduction of the Loadable module (loadable kernel modules,[lkm]) preven
With the release of Linux2.6, the drivers for each device are rewritten to varying degrees due to the new changes made by the 2.6 kernel. For the convenience of Linux enthusiasts, I put my own share out of this worthless file. This article lists the vast majority of changes in the 2.6 kernel with previous versions, but unfortunately the use of individual functions is not listed in detail due to limited time and effort. 1.

Recently, I was looking at the driver model, but the more confused I was, the more I used to come into contact with some character drivers. I have a certain understanding of the character-driven framework. Later, I wanted to create a device file in the driver. I also learned that the sysfs file system and udev file system will inevitably involve the driver model. However, we found that the driver model has no connection with the character

The usage formats of these macros are as follows::

"How to calculate it? "I asked.
"You do. I have to pay 380 yuan a day, and the fuel fee is about 210 yuan. 17 hours a day, the average fixed cost of 22 yuan per hour, handed over to the company, an average of 12.5 yuan per hour oil fee. Is this 34.5Yuan? ", I was surprised. I took a taxi for 10 years and heard a taxi driver calculate the cost for the first time. The previous drivers told me that the cost per kilometer is 0.3 yuan, and the am
