Foundations of Linux Kernel Development

О курсе

This course provides foundational skills in Linux kernel programming, focusing on kernel architecture, source code management, and module development. Learners gain practical insight into how the Linux kernel operates and why kernel-level programming is critical in systems development and embedded environments. Participants will build the Linux 6.x kernel from source, configure development environments, and create basic kernel modules through guided exercises. The course strengthens practical skills in kernel compilation, module management, and secure development workflows used in real-world Linux systems. What makes this course unique is its balance of conceptual understanding and hands-on implementation. Practical walkthroughs and real-world examples help learners confidently navigate kernel programming tasks and development processes. This course is ideal for Linux developers, system programmers, and technology professionals interested in kernel development. Basic familiarity with Linux command-line usage and C programming is recommended. Packt is one of the world's most prolific publishers of cutting-edge technical content.
