# Linux Device Drivers Learning
This repository summarises my progress into learning Linux device driver development. It follows the [LDD](https://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/) book.
---
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
1. A Linux development environment with kernel headers installed.
2. Basic knowledge of C programming and Linux systems.
3. A desire to learn and explore!
### How to Use
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/username/linux-device-drivers-learning.git
cd linux-device-drivers-learning
```
2. Navigate to the desired hello directory:
```bash
cd hello_world/
```
3. Build the module:
```bash
make
```
4. Load the module:
```bash
sudo insmod hello.ko
```
5. Check kernel logs:
```bash
dmesg | tail
```
6. Unload the module:
```bash
sudo rmmod hello
```

## CI/CD Features
This repository employs GitHub Actions to:
- Verify that all kernel modules build successfully.
- Perform static code analysis for quality checks.
- Test modules in a virtualized environment (future goal).
