USB drivers included in the Linux kernel are rife with security flaws that in some cases can be exploited to run untrusted code and take over users' computers. The vast majority of these ...

在介绍设备端驱动前，我们先来看看 Linux USB子系统。这里的子系统是相对于整个Linux kernel 来说的，而非单一设备。从整体概括了USB主机端和设备端的通信框架。 Linux kernel 中早已集成了较为完善的USB协议栈，由于其规模庞大，包含多个类别的设备驱动，所以Linux ...

If you’ve used Linux for a long time, you know that we are spoiled these days. Getting a new piece of hardware back in the day was often a horrible affair, requiring custom kernels and lots ...

I'm starting on some linux USB device driver development, and have hit a few snags on the way. I found some excellent resources on both linux-usb.org and linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net, but I still can ...

Microsoft's proprietary protocol, Remote Network Driver Interface Specification (RNDIS), started with a good idea. It would enable hardware vendors to add networking support to USB devices without ...

Support for a faster version of USB in Linux is imminent and will become a permanent part of the Linux landscape when the next version of the operating system is introduced. The upcoming 2.4.19 ...

In Part I of this article, I briefly mentioned the generic USB driver in the context of getting a USB device to communicate through it easily, with no custom kernel programming. Unfortunately, I ...

In my last column [see LJ December 2002], we covered the serial layer in the 2.5 (hopefully soon to be 2.6) kernel tree. We mentioned in passing that a USB-to-serial driver layer in the kernel helps ...

Where can I find Linux hardware drivers for my USB wireless network adapter? Linux driver information for Atmel AT76C503A-based wireless USB devices can be found here. Drivers and installation ...

Editor's Note: Embedded Linux has consistently ranked among the top operating systems used in embedded system design. With the rapid growth in interest in the Internet of Things (IoT), the ability of ...

In previous articles, we looked at how to configure the kernel as well as the key components of an embedded operating system (OS). This new article focuses on the hardware components of embedded Linux ...
