Linux Device Drivers and Kernel is designed to teach experienced programmers how to develop device drivers for Linux systems, and give them a basic understanding and familiarity with the Linux kernel. Upon completion of the course, students will understand the Linux architecture, kernel algorithms, hardware and memory management, and modularization techniques.

This course will be taught in a classroom using computers installed with a current Linux distribution. The emphasis will be on hands-on programming, with the time divided between lecture and labs.
