Hi everyone,
I would like to introduce this book: Linux Device Drivers by Jonathan Corbet. It is used as a reference of many people who work with hardware or embedded system. In my case, I read many technical documents and I found this book, at that time, really felt very happy as finding a great way to go.
I work in embedded system field, so it is very important. I hope it is good for you also. Enjoy !
