- Synopsis:
-
The aim of the course is to teach students how to develop drivers for the Linux operating system. It is an advanced course that goes up to the depth of the operating system, considers a wide range driver types and their specific properties. Both x86 and ARM hardware platforms are taken into account. In labs, students will develop various drivers.
