Greetings all,
Just opening the door to the Linux world, and since I'm doing so with
a specific goal in mind (as opposed to just letting my curiosity carry
me) I am hoping to get some direction. I have device in mind that I'd
like to build which would interface with my computer, so I'm wondering
what books I might want to start with to learn how to make drivers
from scratch (USB, but I'm not certain yet). Any suggestions?
TIA

"Linux Device Drivers" ISBN 1-56592-292-1 from, O'Reilly & Associates
(oreilly.com) is a decent read. You'll need an understanding of C and
some background in Unix system calls though. All programs in the book
are available at: ftp.ora.com/pub/examples/linux/drivers/ :-)
BTW, you may want to check with your local Public Library for this book.
