Hi Athul, I think people find learning kernel development difficult due to the following reasons, I) Lack of understanding about the underlying hardware. II) In the Linux kernel, some features are used which is specific to the GCC toolchain. III) There is also a good amount of assembly is being used which in turn also needs the underlying hardware knowledge. III) Last but not less important, An operating system does all its tasks by itself. It runs in a freestanding environment. So we need the patience to learn every aspect of an operating system. My next article which completes the minimal C program is coming soon. Please, stay tuned.

I have seen your mail on the Kernelnewbies mailing list. I have similar interests as you about learning more about the Linux kernel. I have tried to put some effort to learn more about the Linux kernel but didn't go well. I would like to follow along with you. I hope you could help me. > Sincerely, > Athul Joy _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
