| Chapter 10, “Peripheral Component Interconnect”, looks at kernel support for PCI and its derivatives. Chapter 11, “Universal Serial Bus”,explores USB architecture and explains how you can use the services of the Linux-USB subsystem to write drivers for USB devices. Chapter 12, “Video Drivers”, examines the Linux-Video subsystem. It finds out the advantages offered by the frame buffer abstraction and teaches you to write frame buffer drivers. Chapter 13, “Audio Drivers”,describes the Linux-Audio framework and explains how to implement audio drivers. Chapter 14, “Block Drivers”,focuses on drivers for storage devices such as hard disks. In this chapter, you will also learn about the different I/O schedulers supported by the Linux Block subsystem. Chapter 15, “Network Interface Cards”, is devoted to network device drivers. You will learn about kernel networking data structures and how to interface network drivers with protocol layers.Chapter 16, “Linux without Wires”, looks at driving different wireless technologies such as Bluetooth, Infrared, WiFi, and cellular communication. Chapter 17, “Memory Technology Devices”, discusses flash memory enablement on embedded devices.The chapter ends by examining drivers for the Firmware Hub found on PC systems. Chapter 18, “Embedding Linux”, steps into the world of embedded Linux. It takes you through the main firmware components of an embedded solution such as bootloader, kernel, and device drivers. Given the soaring popularity of Linux in the embedded space, it’s more likely that you will use the device driver skills that you acquire from this book to enable embedded systems. Chapter 19, “Drivers in User Space”, looks at driving different types of devices from user space. Some device drivers, especially ones that are heavy on policy and light on performance requirements, are better off residing in user land. This chapter also explains how the Linux process scheduler affects the response times of user mode drivers. Chapter 20, “More Devices and Drivers”, takes a tour of a potpourri of driver families not covered thus far, such as Error Detection And Correction (EDAC), FireWire, and ACPI. Chapter 21, “Debugging Device Drivers”, teaches about different types of debuggers that you can use to debug kernel code. In this chapter, you will also learn to use trace tools, kernel probes, crash-dump, and profilers. When you develop a driver, be armed with the driver debugging skills that you learn in this chapter. Chapter 22, “Maintenance and Delivery”, provides perspective on the software development life cycle.Chapter 23, “Shutting Down”, takes you through a checklist of work items when you embark on Linux-enabling a new device. The book ends by pondering What next? Device drivers sometimes need to implement code snippets in assembly, so Appendix A takes a look at the different facets of assembly programming on Linux. Some device drivers on x86-based systemsdepend directly or i |
