Possibly off-topic but Alessandro Rubini has uploaded a set of small sample drivers (among other things) at: http://gnudd.com/workdoc.shtml Maybe there is something of interest in there for your course? Thanks On Fri, May 6, 2011 at 4:25 PM, Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@crashcourse.ca>wrote:
as i'm reviewing the courseware i'll be teaching in a couple weeks, i'm making notes as to what should go, what should stay and what should be added to bring it entirely up to date.
i'm going to de-emphasize proc files, other than to show some examples in the fs/proc/ directory if students want to hack up a couple simple ones for their drivers, knowing that they're not meant to be permanent.
and i want to more emphasize kobjects and sysfs. to that end, i'm aware of the "sysfsutils" package, although i haven't used it yet. is anyone familiar with it, to the point they're *using* it for useful things, as opposed to just playing with it? i'll probably get around to checking it out this weekend, just curious as to how i'd promote its use if/when the time comes. thanks.
