Hi Maria,Most of what I learned about the Linux kernel I learned in an operating systems course at uni, the note for which are freely available at http://cs.anu.edu.au/student/comp3300/notes.phpA good place to start is with rolling your own kernel, for which there is a ton of resources to be found. Usually it's best to follow special steps suited to your distro. Another really good starting place for getting a high level view of how the kernel fits in with the entire eco system is doing the Linux from Scratch http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ tutorials.If you want to dive straight into the code, though, try finding a simple USB gadget like a Nerf launcher or something and reverse engineering a driver. USB drivers are probably the easiest to write, unless you're working with something really crazy.Hope this helps,StephenOn Fri, Nov 16, 2012 at 9:50 PM, María <meccomaria@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
_______________________________________________Hello everybody,I just started to learn about the linux kernel and I am very excited about it... but very lost. I would like to know if there's any mentor program or anything similar to that. If there's no such thing, can anyone suggest me some link/s with "First steps to the linux kernel" or the like?Thank you very much and sorry for the inconvenience,María.
