Device drivers and system software development.
Developing kernel drivers to work directly with hardware I/O - resulting in faster operations.
Configurable drivers - you can change driver parameters at runtime.
Run applications on hardware events (USB insertion, GPIO input, etc).
The central core of Embedded Linux OS (operating system) is the kernel. It has complete control over everything that occurs in the system.
device drivers provide a gateway to approach the operating systems (OS) code without being overwhelmed by complexity.
device driver is a “black box” that holds the details of how the device works. It can be built separately from the rest of the kernel and “plugged in” at runtime when required.
A-Z Embedded develops Linux Device Drivers for a wide range of hardware types:
- USB/PCI devices (storage, communication, etc).
- Network connection device drivers.
- device drivers for audio/video peripherals in Linux Embedded system.
- drivers for hardware interrupts.
- drivers for communication between hardware-user space (applications).
