A very large chunk of linux kernel development can be done in a virtual machine (use VirtualBox, or VMWare, or whatever). Note that very hardware dependent code (like messing around with MSR registers, or some device drivers) won't be easily debugged, because the VM gives you a virtualized version of a generic system. But stuff like filesystems or schedulers or new syscalls are easily done in a VM.

Just curious, which dongle do you use? and what did you try?

Looking for guidance,

Thanks ! -- Mayur S Patil,
