Hi Maria, Most of what I learned about the Linux kernel I learned in an operating systems course at uni, the note for which are freely available at http://cs.anu.edu.au/student/comp3300/notes.php
A good place to start is with rolling your own kernel, for which there is a ton of resources to be found. Usually it's best to follow special steps suited to your distro. Another really good starting place for getting a high level view of how the kernel fits in with the entire eco system is doing the Linux from Scratch http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ tutorials. If you want to dive straight into the code, though, try finding a simple USB gadget like a Nerf launcher or something and reverse engineering a driver. USB drivers are probably the easiest to write, unless you're working with something really crazy. Hope this helps, Stephen On Fri, Nov 16, 2012 at 9:50 PM, María <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello everybody, > > I just started to learn about the linux kernel and I am very excited about > it... but very lost.
