Request for guidance

[Abhishek]

Hi All,

I am an Embedded Software Engineer with 3+ years of experience. I am
fascinated by kernel development and want to be a device driver developer.

I have done following so far.
#Studied LDD3.
#Subscribed to eudyptula challenge and submitted solution
for 4th task(waiting for next task).
#Have compiled and installed kernel successfully on multiple boards.

I want to start contributing to kernel so I looked into staging and
found that I can not work on TODO unless I have required hardware to
test patch (which unfortunately I don't have).

Requesting you to guide me about how to start working on kernel/device drivers development.

Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,

There are some open source project where you can contribute too but I would
suggest first you to work on Kernel Bugs available at
https://bugzilla.kernel.org. This would boost your confidence.

Regards
Sanjeev Sharma

Thanks Sanjeev.
Is there anything else that I can do in parallel with bugzilla?

We are already in the relevant mailing list, so if ShiHao wants to work on IIO
drivers, welcome!

hello,Andy Shevchenko

My name is FeihuaCheng, and I am a graduate student in Control Engineering.
I have been studying embedded Linux and Linux driver development.
I saw the discussion about the AD39113 IIO driver and I am also very
interested in contributing to its development.

Would it be possible for me to participate in this work as well? If so,
I am available to start now and would appreciate any advice or guidance
on how to get started.

Best Regards,
FeihuaCheng

Hi Abhishek,
Get a embedded board like Beaglebone or Raspberry Pi and start interfacing
new sensors or communication devices.
