Linux Kernel Programming

In this video, we explore the fundamentals of Linux Kernel Programming and learn how to write, compile, and execute a simple Linux kernel module. This session provides a hands-on understanding of how kernel-level code interacts directly with the system hardware. This session covers: ✔ What is an Operating System & Kernel ✔ Introduction to Kernel Modules (.ko) ✔ Writing a Simple Kernel Module ✔ module_init & module_exit Macros ✔ Makefile & Kernel Build System (kbuild) ✔ Compilation, Insertion & Removal (insmod, rmmod) This session also introduces important concepts like kernel space vs user space, kernel logging using printk, module metadata (license, author, description), and how dynamically loadable modules extend kernel functionality without rebooting the system. You will also understand how kernel modules are compiled using kernel headers and how tools like modinfo, lsmod, insmod, and rmmod are used to manage them effectively. Whether you're learning Embedded Linux, Device Drivers, or System Programming, this video gives you a practical introduction to kernel-level development as part of the Complete Embedded Systems learning series.
