Usage:

Just run

git clone git://github.com/makelinux/ldt.git && cd ldt && make && ./ldt-test && sudo ./misc_loop_drv_test

and explore sources.

Files:

Main source file of LDT: ldt.c

Test script, run it: ldt-test

Generic testing utility for Device I/O: dio.c

Simple misc driver with read, write, fifo, tasklet and IRQ: misc_loop_drv.c
