Request for guidance
Hi All, I am an Embedded Software Engineer with 3+ years of experience. I am fascinated by kernel development and want to be a device driver developer. I have done following so far. #Studied LDD3. #Subscribed to eudyptula challenge and submitted solution for 4th task(waiting for next task). #Have compiled and installed kernel successfully on multiple boards. I want to start contributing to kernel so I looked into staging and found that I can not work on TODO unless I have required hardware to test patch (which unfortunately I don't have). Requesting you to guide me about how to start working on kernel/device drivers development. Thanks, Abhishek
Hi Abhishek, There are some open source project where you can contribute too but I would suggest first you to work on Kernel Bugs available at https://bugzilla.kernel.org. This would boost your confidence. Regards Sanjeev Sharma On Tue, May 24, 2016 at 7:06 AM, Abhishek <sharma.kernel@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks Sanjeev. Is there anything else that I can do in parallel with bugzilla?
