Introduction to Linux Kernel Development
- Thursday, July 9
- 7:00 pm
- Room 230 Tanner Building

Although the Linux kernel may seem huge and complex, it's just a big
program. This is your chance to get to know that program a little
better and start you down the road to kernel development.

What we'll cover:
- Kernel development model
- How the kernel gets from boot loader to shell prompt
- A tour of kernel subsystems
- Hooking up a debugger
- Writing a simple kernel module
