Kernel Modules, Major Number and Minor Number

Posted on January 1, 2018June 17, 2025 By Gautam No Comments on Kernel Modules, Major Number and Minor Number

Whenever you want to add something to the kernel code, there are two options – either add your code to the kernel code and compile/build the entire kernel image or compile your code separately and add it to the kernel image later. The first one is the earlier approach that was followed. But, considering the…

Components of Device Driver

Posted on December 8, 2017June 17, 2025 By Gautam No Comments on Components of Device Driver

To interact with the hardware, driver needs to communicate with the kernel and before that, it must notify the kernel about its presence. This is achieved by the “init” call by which the driver is registered with the kernel and allocated the memory it wants. At the time of system shut down, the driver is…

Device Drivers : Role & Types

Posted on November 3, 2017June 17, 2025 By Gautam No Comments on Device Drivers : Role & Types

As briefly discussed in our previous article, device driver is a software that is used to control a hardware device and make it work. It acts as an interface between the user-application and the hardware. Any user-application reaches out to the device driver for any interaction with the hardware device and the device driver checks…

Device Drivers and Linux Architecture

Posted on October 21, 2017June 17, 2025 By Gautam No Comments on Device Drivers and Linux Architecture

Device driver is a computer program that controls a particular device that is connected to the system be it printers, CD-ROM readers etc. Before we go into device drivers, let us get a brief of the Linux architecture. The Linux virtual memory is divided into two partitions namely user space and kernel space to protect…

Different Applications of Microcontroller

Posted on October 26, 2015May 18, 2025 By vlsifacts No Comments on Different Applications of Microcontroller

Microcontroller is termed as “Computer-on-a-Chip“. It is named so, because not only the CPU, but RAM, ROM, I/O ports, Timer/Counter, Serial I/Os all are put together on a single microcontroller chip. Microcontrollers are task specific and are essentially used for making Embedded Systems. The above image shows very few examples for the application of microcontrollers…
