If you have a strong desire to learn kernel programming | concepts while coming up to speed on C, I would suggest getting the latest | book on Xinu, buying an Intel Galileo board and working your way through | that book. Xinu is what I cut my teeth on 25 years ago and I remember it | being a terrific learning environment. Xinu is not Linux (or Unix), but | for starting at the ground level all the concepts will map over when you | are ready to tackle Linux kernel work. | | Information for Xinu can be found here: http://www.xinu.cs.purdue.edu/ `---- or there is always xv6 (http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2014/) which might be useful... -- kind regards anupam
