Hi,
I would like to start learning about Linux kernel and device drivers
development.
Should I have to start with LDD3 as a lot of people advice ? or can I start
with the Essential Linux Device Drivers by Sreekrishnan Venkateswaran.
I know that the second book may be more advanced but I feel that it's more
more practical and easier to be understood.
Thanks,
--
Mohamed

Why not get both and see which one works for you?

I had already done as you said.
I am just asking if it's really mandatory to read LDD3 first ?

along with LDD3, there is an ongoing project to update the examples
in that book for newer kernels:

It's not mandatory to do anything, no one is forcing you to do this.
