Developing on virtual machine(you can try VirtualBox) is the best
option, if you intend to hack into device drivers.

Working on the Raspberry Pi, would also involve porting,
cross-compiling issues. If you are comfortable with them, then you can
try that but  LDD and LKD aims more to x86 platform drivers than any
other platform.
