How old Linux Device Drivers 3 book is now?
Hi everyone. I'm a totally fresh and newbie with kernel development and I've started reading Linux Device Drivers 3 book (CORBET et al). Since this book approaches is based on kernel 2.6 and we are currently with kernel 4.x, someone could help me telling if this book is still a good introduction to the subject, or is now highly outdated? Thanks in advance. -- Fernando França http://desconstruindo.eng.br Linux user #263682 Dificultando a vida dos usuários desde 1999
Yes, off course. The basic principles are there. This does not change from kernel to kernel. Cheers, Wenda Ni, Ph.D. On Wed, Jul 20, 2016 at 10:32 AM, Fernando França < fernando@desconstruindo.eng.br> wrote:
