A tutorial series covering Linux kernel topics, starting with beginner-level examples.
Current tutorials:
- Echo Kernel Module: A simple character device driver
- DMA Ping Pong: A simple DMA buffer and fence tutorial
This project experiments with AI-assisted code generation using tools like:
Our goal is to explore how AI can help developers create robust, high-performance, and easily understood code more efficiently.
Note: While AI tools are used in the development process, all code is reviewed and tested by human developers to ensure quality and correctness.
LinuxJumpstart is under active development. Additional tutorials are planned to cover more advanced topics in Linux kernel programming.
LinuxJumpstart was developed by Jeff Boody.
