Linux Kernel Development — Episode 6: Introduction to IIO
With the basics in place, the next step is exploring the Industrial I/O (IIO) subsystem.
This stage combines:
- The anatomy of the
iio_simple_dummydriver - Experiments with the
iio_dummymodule
The goal is to understand how sensor-related drivers are structured inside the kernel.
By studying the dummy driver, it becomes possible to identify:
- How devices are registered
- How data is exposed
- How the subsystem is organized internally
The experimentation phase involves modifying and interacting with the dummy module, reinforcing the concepts introduced earlier.
This marks the transition from general kernel development concepts to a more specific domain within the kernel.
