And writing device drivers is one of the few areas of programming for the Linux operating system that calls for unique, Linux-specific knowledge. For years now, programmers have relied on the classic Linux Device Drivers from O'Reilly to master this critical subject. Now in its third edition, this bestselling guide provides all the information you'll need to write drivers for a wide range of devices. Over the years the book has helped countless programmers learn: how to support computer peripherals under the Linux operating system how to develop and write software for new hardware under Linux the basics of Linux operation even if they are not expecting to write a driver The new edition of Linux Device Drivers is better than ever. The book covers all the significant changes to Version 2.6 of the Linux kernel, which simplifies many activities, and contains subtle new features that can make a driver both more efficient and more flexible. Readers will find new chapters on important types of drivers not covered previously, such as consoles, USB drivers, and more. Best of all, you don't have to be a kernel hacker to understand and enjoy this book. All you need is an understanding of the C programming language and some background in Unix system calls. And for maximum ease-of-use, the book uses full-featured examples that you can compile and run without special hardware. Today Linux holds fast as the most rapidly growing segment of the computer market and continues to win over enthusiastic adherents in many application areas. With this increasing support, Linux is now absolutely mainstream, and viewed as a solid platform for embedded systems. If you're writing device drivers, you'll want this book. In fact, you'll wonder how drivers are ever written without it. Review: Excellent Book - Starting working on device drivers in unix based enviroment, this book is the best choice. It helped me so much to understand the general philosophy of a driver's design. It is a well written book. An absolute guide for the world of drivers in linux os.

It helped me so much to understand the general philosophy of a driver's design. It is a well written book. An absolute guide for the world of drivers in linux os. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by A***R on 8 March 2016* Good as expected ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kernel build *by A***T on 4 March 2016* Couldn't wait until Christmas for the new edition: One way to build a working 2.6.10 (circa 2005) kernel dev platform in 2016 Ubuntu 5.04 has a 2.6.10 kernel old-releases[dot]ubuntu[dot]com[slash]releases[slash]hoary old-releases[dot]ubuntu[dot]com[slash]releases[slash]hoary[slash]source Installer doesn't like USB... Burn 'install' .iso for IDE optical drive, and _EMPTY_ hard disk (to avoid GRUB v GRUB2 fail) I used Parallel ATA devices - suspect SATA drives won't work, but knock yourself out... Dig out an internal Ethernet card. I gave up on WiFi when oldest card I had required ndiswrapper upgrade which required a gcc upgrade. No thanks. Unsurprisingly, network repos for 5.04 are offline, so after installation download 4 source cd isos [sudo mount -r -o loop thenameof.iso /cdrom] [sudo umount /cdrom] to unmount Copy ncurses- and linux-source- .orig.tar.gz tarballs from /cdrom/pool/main/... to /usr/src Install ncurses first: [gunzip ][tar xvf ][cd ][./configure][make][sudo make install] Then linux-sources: [gunzip ][tar xvf ][cd ][make menuconfig] change 'filesystems' > 'ext3' from module(M) to builtin(*) and to be safe, do the same for sysfs, tmpfs, (vfs?), 'drivers' > IDE, EIDE, ATA, PATA Esc, Esc to exit, 'Yes' I want to save new configuration. [make][have coffee][make modules] [sudo make modules_install][sudo depmod -a][sudo make install] [sudo update-grub] [sudo reboot] Phew. Hope that helps someone else avoid all the mistakes I've not mentioned. ## Frequently Bought Together - Linux Device Drivers: Where the Kernel Meets the Hardware - Understanding the Linux Kernel: From I/O Ports to Process Management - Linux Kernel Development --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://cameroon.desertcart.com/products/49370557-linux-device-drivers-3e-oreilly-software-ser](https://cameroon.desertcart.com/products/49370557-linux-device-drivers-3e-oreilly-software-ser) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cameroon* *Store origin: CM* *Last updated: 2026-11-05*
