Description: As an electronics engineer, and a person who wants to do everything himself, I've always been willing to use a computer to control external devices. Even in our parents' apple-2e era, I started looking for other platforms to connect with my customized environment and write my own driver software. Unfortunately, the personal computer in the eighty s is not so strong, no matter in software or hardware layer, the interior design of personal computers is much less than the Apple - 2 e, and in a very long period of time, can get the documents are not satisfactory. But the next thing that happened was Linux, and I decided to give it a try, so I bought an expensive 386 motherboard and didn't run any commercial software.
At that time, I was using the Unix system in the university, and as smart as an operating system, especially added the GNU project provide users more intelligent tool, I also deeply intoxicated by Unix. Running Linux on my PC motherboard was an interesting experience, and I could even write my own device driver and play with it. I keep telling people, "when I grow up, I'm going to be a hacker." Linux is a great platform for realizing that dream. That is to say, I can achieve my dream without having to grow up.
As Linux matures, more and more people are interested in the drivers of devices that write special circuits and the drivers of commercial devices. As Linus Torvalds informs everyone: "we are back in an era where everyone writes device drivers for themselves."
