Hi All,

   I am conducting one workshop at FUDCon in which I am trying to teach how
to write

and send your first linux kernel device driver. Could please suggest me the
place where I

can guide the students to send the device driver?

Thanks !!

Not sure what do you want to achieve with this. To show students
how to contribute to the Linux kernel you can find small coding style
issues in the drivers/staging/ directory and send them to Greg KH.

We are doing this every year and its a lot of fun.

You can start with this video:

thanks,
Daniel.

Hi Daniel,

   I just want to make attendees confident enough that when they will go

home ,they will continue without worrying about silly details like:

- Attaching Plain Text attachment
- Write Correct Makefile
- Configure the Mail Clients to do so.

That's only thing I want to achieve.

Hi,
If i do not completely misunderstand you, I think you need some kind of
mailbox where the students can submit their patches. Afterwards you can get
the Emails together and discuss their results. I suppose you do not intend
to send dummy-patches to a real maintainer for getting his feedback?

Cheers
Lukas

Hey Mayur,
I am not exactly sure what you need.

1) If you need to know how to send patches per mail, check Greg's talk here
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLBrBBImJt4)
2) If you need help setting up an email inbox for receiving student's
patches, just go for one of your preferred freemail hoster (they probably
all suck)
3) If you need an inbox with Webmailer/POP3/IMAP, I can set you up one on
one of my domains. Just drop me a line and I'm gonna set it up for you.
4) If you need something completely else, ask more precisely! ;)

Cheers,
Lukas

  once upon a time, i wrote an (admittedly-dated) online course on how
to get started with kernel programming (and, yes, it needs updating
:-P):

http://crashcourse.ca/introduction-linux-kernel-programming/introduction-linux-kernel-programming

ignore the $39 reference, the course has been publicly available for
free for a while.

  on the second point -- how to *send* that driver to the kernel --
don't you kind of need a rationale for why you're working on a driver
that isn't in the kernel already? i suspect that if you're already
competent enough to be writing a driver for something that isn't in
the kernel, you probably already know the protocol for submitting it,
no?

Hi Robert,

   I am only done with writing basic device drivers and kernel compilation.

I also know that we can send patches/drivers to

majordomo at vger.kernel.org

But sending sample device drivers to that list will not be good etiquette.

That's why I am asking.

./scripts/getmaintainer.pl should tell you that if you feed it with right
patch file or the file
which you are trying to modify.
