Finding help

[Stephen Gream]

Hi Maria,

Most of what I learned about the Linux kernel I learned in an operating
systems course at uni, the note for which are freely available at
http://cs.anu.edu.au/student/comp3300/notes.php

A good place to start is with rolling your own kernel, for which there is a
ton of resources to be found. Usually it's best to follow special steps
suited to your distro. Another really good starting place for getting a
high level view of how the kernel fits in with the entire eco system is
doing the Linux from Scratch http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ tutorials.

If you want to dive straight into the code, though, try finding a simple
USB gadget like a Nerf launcher or something and reverse engineering a
driver. USB drivers are probably the easiest to write, unless you're
working with something really crazy.

Hope this helps,
Stephen
