Despite being a few years old, the book is a valuable source of information regarding kernel drivers development. There are lots of repositories with examples updated to many kernel versions. A few months ago I needed the examples updated to 2.6.32 and found repositories for older kernels. I sent a few patches to the author of the most up-to-date repository I found (I think It was 2.6.28) but didn't have any feedback so I (also) started my own git tree with examples to kernel versions 2.6.32, 2.6.35 and 2.6.38. Maybe instead having so many repositories all over the Internet trying to do the same. It will be good to have a kernelnewbies oficial repository for virtual device drivers. These drivers can be a good starting point for someone doing real driver development (something like the usb-skeleton.c for usb drivers). Also it could be a playground for people eager to learn and start contributing with more examples. -- Javier MartÃnez Canillas (+34) 682 39 81 69 PhD Student in High Performance Computing Computer Architecture and Operating System Department (CAOS) Universitat AutÃnoma de Barcelona Barcelona, Spain _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
