HANDS-ON TRAINING ON LINUX & WINDOWS DEVICE DRIVERS (LWDD)
We are happy to announce the launch of Hands-on Training on Linux and Windows Device Drivers.
Linux Device Drivers
Schedule: 3 days
Objective: This program aims to provide training on Linux Device Drivers consisting of Character, Block and Network Device Drivers.
Prerequisite: Linux Kernel, Basic Device Driver and Linux Programming using 'C'.
Platform: RedHat Linux 9.0
Delivery Methods: Presentation, Demonstration and Hands-on
Course Brief: This training program covers Linux device driver – concepts such as application-driver-device communication, kernel mechanism- timers, top/bottom half handling, synchronization etc. It deals with PCI device drivers along with access to I/O port, memory and interrupts. It will cover block driver, network driver and USB device driver along with working examples of parallel, serial, floppy, network and usb devices.

Windows 2K/XP Device Driver
Schedule : Three Days
Objective
This program aims to provide training on Windows 2K/XP device drivers – development, building, testing and debugging.
Prerequisite: Windows SDK programming using 'C'.
Platform: Windows 2000, SDK and DDK.
Delivery Methods: Presentation, Demonstration and Hands-on.
Course Brief: The course deals with windows 2K/XP architecture to enable the participants to write device drivers. It discusses various tools (SDK, DDK) for building, installing and debugging the device drivers. The various types of device drivers, with emphasis on windows driver model (wdm) are discussed. All the required routines for device drivers, data structures and data flow (I/O request packet) are explained. It also discusses the commonly used I/O manager, Executive, Kernel APIs in the drivers. The driver interface to wdm components e.g. pnp is described in detail. The installation of device drivers, testing with verifier are explained in detail.
