I think for the beginner, it would be best to start with "devices" that are known working with the beaglebone black. Or at minimum, in the case of USB type peripherals. Something that works with Linux, and uses libraries / API's availible / working on ARM ( armhf in the case of debian ). What you described above, Would be *very* daunting for a newb to Linux device driver development. Hell, it's not something I would personally enjoy doing . . . and I do have some experience attempting to port Arduino drivers to other platforms. It never worked out very well. . . and I always wound up writing my own stuff from scratch. On Tue, Jun 30, 2015 at 2:30 PM, Bruce Boyes <[email protected]> wrote: > Looks interesting.
