lambofgod Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hi! I have decent programming experience (C/C++). I wish to know more about kernel development and the things i need to do to get into it . Information pertaining to the books i need to refer to and if i need to go join a course. I know a bit about kernels and how they work but have never written any code. I would be grateful if you guys could suggest something and how i should go about doing this. Thank you lamb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter11 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 About books, you can search on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Linux-Kernel-Develop...e/dp/0672325128 AFAIK there is no kernel developer here. Iphitus is the closest to what you need here. He's an Arch Linux developer. The website I recommend to start with is kernelnewbies.org.

iphitus Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Havn't done much for a while. Best place to start is as linked above, kernelnewbies.org Robert Love's Linux Kernel Development is a must read if you're fairly new to the kernel. Otherwise, find and itch and scrach it. If there's something you'd like to fix/improve, take a look at that, read the documentation, otherwise there's lots on kernelnewbies. Don't waste time on kernel patchsets. It's not really kernel development, you don't learn a great deal about the kernel, and you never actually get much coding done.

lambofgod Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hey! Thanks for the suggestions. I got this book ( understanding the Linux Kernel ) by Daniel Bovet. It seems to be a decent book can't say much because i have only just started. I asked for the Robert Love book and its out of stock till Monday. I just want to make sure i read the right kind of stuff. I I logged on to kernelnewbies.org and it's got a a lot of things. I could not find much for a beginner like me. I guess i will go through it once more in leisure. Please feel free to suggest other things i could possibly do. Thanks Lamb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
