Linux Device Drivers, 3rd Edition

> Wow, that's really great. Where do you even start to learn to program this kind of thing? Like accessing hardware

This: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0596005903/ should cover most of it.

This is the one I have:

https://www.amazon.com/Linux-Device-Drivers-Jonathan-Corbet/dp/0596005903

sure, in my opinion these 3 books are essential, ["Linux Kernel Development", Robert Love](https://www.amazon.com/Linux-Kernel-Development-Robert-Love/dp/0672329468), ["Linux Device Drivers", Jonathan Corbet](https://www.amazon.com/Linux-Device-Drivers-Jonathan-Corbet/dp/0596005903/) and ["Understanding the Linux Kernel", Daniel P. Bovet](https://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Linux-Kernel-Third-Daniel/dp/0596005652). In addition, read and _understand_ the code. Make use of [LXR](http://lxr.free-electrons.com).

• Linux Device Drivers
• Linux Core Kernel Commentary
• Operating Systems Design and Implementation

I had previously bought these books on recommendation for the same purpose but I never got to studying them myself so only take them as second-hand advice.

Several texts:

• Essential Linux Device Drivers (I really enjoyed this one. It has a strong introductory section on Linux and how device drivers generally work.)
• Linux Device Drivers (The "standard" with a free pdf link as mentioned by others)
• Understanding the Linux Kernel (The longer you spend here, the better you need to really understand the kernel. This will help.)

For Windows drivers also see this blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/doronh/

For Linux based development, two good books come to mind: Linux Device Drivers and Linux Kernel Development. The Linux Device Drivers book can be a bit daunting so a good introduction to the Kernel is a useful starting point.
