Hi Dhanshri, Can you be a bit more specific about the question: I am not able to understand if you are asking about how register_chrdev works or just the usage of register_chrdev.

I'm studying device driver development(kernel space). i'm refering the linux device driver book by allessandro rubini. which is quite good... but still i'm having some problems in thoroghly understanding the basic concepts! someone pls answer this: how exactly a device address comes to the driver?
