Device Driver Help

[Naveen Kumar]

Hi,
I am very new to device driver area and has some basic knowledge of char and
block device driver and linux kernel. I am little bit aware of some of
subsystem of kernel but I am not able to co-relate which device driver file
is pure software driver and more or less part of kernel subsystem to achieve
hardware abstraction and which driver files deals with real hardware.
It would be great help if someone can provide some real example with some
open hardware datasheet, some basic code snippet will help me a lot.

Thanks,
A Kernel Newbie

Hi 

there are some drivers code:
 http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/openwrt-xburst/source/tree/master/target/linux/xburst/files-2.6.32/drivers
you can find all datasheet here:
 http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/hardware/datasheets/qi_lb60/
 
hardware info:
 http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Hardware_basics
 http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Hardware_basics#Schematic

the qi hardware is prompt "copyleft hardware" all source code is free software, 
all document is CC. 

maybe you can find some info on that project.

you can take a look at the OpenMoko project, I never gave a deep look
at it, but it should be entirely open, even the hardware parts.

definitely not open then qi-hardware ben nanonote. Ben Nanonote simply, 
open and active now you can always get answer in qi-hardware list or 
IRC  #qi-hardware @freenode.net

ben nanonote have committed some code to linux.org you can find the 
it after 2.6.36 :)

BTW:
OpenMoko have canceled develop FreeRunner. the other device WikiReader 
is not base on GNU/Linux system.
