  • Create, load, unload, and manage Loadable Kernel Modules (LKMs)
  • Develop character device drivers and understand device registration concepts
  • Work with major and minor numbers, device nodes, and driver lifecycle management
  • Implement user-kernel communication using file operations and ioctl calls
  • Manage memory allocation and data transfer between user space and kernel space
  • Perform hardware communication using I/O operations and memory-mapped I/O
  • Handle interrupts and hardware access methods in Linux
  • Work with Device Trees including syntax, bindings, and boot loader support
  • Understand the Unified Device Model, kobject, kset, and sysfs
  • Apply synchronization techniques including spinlocks, mutexes, semaphores, and RCU
  • Debug, test, and troubleshoot device drivers using Linux tools and techniques
  • Build platform drivers and cross-compile embedded Linux device drivers
