如何在Linux中编写char设备驱动程序？
答案 0 :(得分：4)
一个很好的例子是Linux“软件狗”或软件看门狗定时器。加载后，它将监视一个特殊的写入设备，并根据这些写入的频率采取措施。
它还向您展示了如何实现一个非常有用的rudamentary ioctl接口。
要查看的文件是drivers / watchdog / softdog.c
如果你通过实例学习，那么这是一个非常好的开始。其他人建议的基本字符设备（null，random等）也很好，但是没有充分展示你需要如何实现ioctl（）接口。
旁注，我相信司机是由艾伦考克斯写的。如果您要从示例中学习，那么研究顶级维护者的工作绝不是一个坏主意。您可以非常肯定该驱动程序还说明了遵守正确的Linux标准。
就驱动程序而言（在Linux中），字符驱动程序是最容易编写的，也是最有价值的，因为您可以看到代码运行得非常快。祝你好运，快乐的黑客。

阅读本书：O'Reilly出版的Linux Device Drivers。
帮了我很多。

我最喜欢的学习内核如何工作的书，BY FAR（我读过大部分内容）是：
Linux Kernel Development (2nd Edition)
这本书相当简短，首先阅读，然后阅读关于驱动程序的O'Reilly书。

答案 4 :(得分：0)
在标准内核中查看一些非常简单的标准 - “null”，“zero”，“mem”，“random”等。它们显示了简单的实现。
显然，如果您正在驾驶真正的硬件，那就更复杂了 - 您需要了解如何与您的设备的硬件以及子系统API（PCI，USB等）进行交互。您可能还需要了解如何使用中断，内核定时器等。

只需从此处http://www.linuxforu.com/2011/02/linux-character-drivers/....Go查看角色驱动程序骨架，然后阅读此处的所有主题，彻底了解。（这是一个教程 - 所以如上所述）。
了解“copy_to_user”和“copy_from_user”函数的工作原理，可以在驱动函数回调的读/写部分中使用。
完成此操作后，请开始阅读基本的“tty”驱动程序。
首先关注驱动程序注册架构，这意味着： -
编写机制时，永远不要忘记它为用户空间中的应用程序提供的内容。
