------kernel modules that need to be recognized in Linux-based production drive processes

Change of Ⅰ and drive

Linux kernel source version before 2.4, the driver is to directly define a Xx.ko, and then the Linux system insmod this personality module can be loaded into the kernel, you can drive their own code, only one: driver. C

Linux kernel version after 2.6, an advanced Linux model was introduced:

1. Linux Device bus---------------------------------------------------

2, equipment 3, drive

Ⅱ, (. ko)----------drive modules and kernel modules

　　

Xx.ko >>> kernel module, but not necessarily the driver module-----Drive module must be a kernel module, that is, the kernel module does not necessarily have a driver function.

　　

The difference between a kernel module and a drive module:

Same point: Kernel modules are executed inside the kernel, and the driver is the same

Different points: The kernel module is not necessarily powered by the drive device

and the drive module is used to drive the device
