Overview

This course focuses on the basic elements of the Linux kernel, which allow programmers to build modules and device drivers. The students will gain a general understanding of the basic tools and interfaces, in order to successfully modify features and develop new aspects of the kernel. During the labs the students will build a full device driver including hardware access and interrupt handling

Explain the way the kernel manages memory

Explain the use of interrupt handlers

Understand the flow between user space and kernel space

Understand the network sub system and write network modules
