In this webinar, Toradex partner, Doulos, investigates the why and how of managing peripheral devices in an Arm^®-based embedded Linux system. Although this is a huge and complex subject area, one can still introduce some of the key concepts and thereby start to appreciate the steps involved in writing a device driver.

• How devices are represented in the device-tree description
• The basic framework used for a Linux kernel device driver
• Fundamentals of device driver programming, including interrupt handling and memory
• How devices can be managed from user-space and a comparison with kernel-based management
• Some of the tools and techniques available for debugging device drivers

While the webinar has been produced using NXP^® based iMX SoCs, the concepts are fully SoC-independent.
