<p>Nick,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I've been reading the lists for a long long time. My day job is senior embedded linux developer for a mobile comms company, I have many many years experience under my belt.
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>from what I see is a young fella, possibly fresh out of university trying to cut his teeth on the kernel.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>take my advice, leave it alone , you are far too in-experienced to be trying this.
</p>
<p>your post to the list are becoming tiresome.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>leave it alone, go away and develop your coding skills by writing programs of your own. (i would suggest something simple to start - helloworld)..
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>this stuff is far too complicated for you - especially device drivers. (these need knowledge of the hardware , also knowledge about how hardware works)</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>just a bit of friendly advice.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Abo <br>
