Device Drivers calls to the Kernel (documentation)

Device Drivers calls to the Kernel (documentation)

[Romero, Miguel Angel]

Hello,

I am using a PPC-405 processor in an embedded target with Montavista Linux
preview edition 2.4.17(free) on it. I am developing drivers for my platform,
but the preview kit comes without documentation. I have found the Kernel API
v2.4 pdf on linux websites, but this document is not what I want ( for
instance there is no mention to kernel threads creation ). Could anybody
point me to the right document (a document which covers all the calls a
device driver can do to the kernel)?

Thanks.

Hi,
My first suggestion would be the linux driver book, by rubini and corbet.
www.kernelnewbies.org  has some good documentation over linux kernel.

Thanks,
Om.

Hi,

Another good book is the Linux Device Drvers 2.
http://www.xml.com/ldd/chapter/book/

You can buy for paper version or download the pdf.
