I want write more important things

[wiktoria.lewicka]

 Hello,
I am interested in wrinting code in Linux kernel and I started write kernel modules. I have some basics about kernel development- I red Robert's Love book. My the biggest project with kernel code is simple module, which create char device which can execute commands as root. Actually I'm reading Linux device drivers 3rd edition. And I haven't any idea what I could doing. I have many ebooks about kernel, but I prefer learn by writing some code. Sorry for my banal question (propably you haven't many time), but when someone answer me, I will be very very thankful.

Look at free-electrons.com , link at doc, two free courses there,

Embedded linux development,
Linux kernel and driver development

You can read them from pdf-s
or watch on youtube,
and/or practice labs though this require to buy some hardware,
(btw the more powerfull hardware you buy,
the more you can test on target)

In pdf's there are some links what to read or do after,
for example see eudyptula-challenge.org

You can also ask about what to do at https://kernelnewbies.org/
or read archive for kernelnewbies,
for example there was discussion started on 2/24/2017 with
subject: want to be a kernel developer

Best regards,
Kamil

I would suggest you to:

1) Complete eudyptula challenge. It contains 20 kernel-related tasks.
I have completed 8th task and awaiting to response and I want to say that
this is a very good challenge for newbies.

2) Pick one of the areas in which you want to participate in. It might
be virtualization, networking, storage, drivers, etc.. Any of that. Go to the
appropriate kernel bug tracker, pick a bug and then try to reproduce it,
fix it and send it as a patch.  I tried many different strategies in
last 8 months, but it seems that this one is the most obvious and
efficient.

After you complete it you will know enough to continue without any
advices )
