Introduction In the previous article, we briefly introduced the difference between bare-metal drivers and device drivers, as well as the driver architecture of character devices in the Linux kernel. Without an operating system, upper-layer applications directly access the driver interface, and application engineers need to know the driver interface for each device. When accessing Flash, … Read more
Let’s Start with a Story Many people experience their computers slowing down over time due to accumulated fragmentation, eventually leading to a crash that renders them unusable. They then follow countless tutorials online to reinstall the system. After reinstalling the system, they check that the monitor, keyboard, mouse, USB ports, network ports, and wireless network … Read more
The English name for drivers is Device Driver, which is short for device driver program. It is a special program that allows a computer to connect with devices, acting as an interface for the hardware. If this interface has issues, the computer cannot function properly.
