The Linux Device Driver Course is designed to provide comprehensive, in-depth training in Linux Device Driver. Prerequisites for Linux Device Driver Training Basic understanding of Linux commands and terminal Strong knowledge of C programming including pointers and memory handling Understanding of operating system fundamentals Working knowledge of kernel module development and synchronization primitives (required) - equivalent to Linux Foundation LFD420 What You Will Learn Understand Linux device driver concepts, architecture, and kernel fundamentals Set up a Linux device driver development environment and build kernel modules Create, load, unload, and manage Loadable Kernel Modules (LKMs) Develop character device drivers and understand device registration concepts Work with major and minor numbers, device nodes, and driver lifecycle management Implement user-kernel communication using file operations and ioctl calls Manage memory allocation and data transfer between user space and kernel space Perform hardware communication using I/O operations and memory-mapped I/O Handle interrupts and hardware access methods in Linux Work with Device Trees including syntax, bindings, and boot loader support Understand the Unified Device Model, kobject, kset, and sysfs Apply synchronization techniques including spinlocks, mutexes, semaphores, and RCU Debug, test, and troubleshoot device drivers using Linux tools and techniques Build platform drivers and cross-compile embedded Linux device drivers The program covers foundational concepts through to advanced techniques to ensure you gain job-ready expertise.
