Linux Device Driver Kit Released!

The Linux Device Driver Kit (DDK) release has been announced by Greg Kroah-Hartman on Wednesday. Linux DDK is created to fill the void of not having DDK with documentations and sample source code provided by other popular operating system.

The device driver kit was released in coordination with the FreedomHEC conference in Seattle, which aims to educate and encourage hardware developers about making their hardware compatible with Linux and other free operating systems. Attendees of the conference will receive free copy of Linux DDK on physical media.

The Linux Device Driver Kit contains Linux Device Drivers, third edition book, Linux kernel 2.6.16.18 source code, a set of Howtos and recommended procedures for submitting and patching device drivers, and a library of architecture- and device-specific technical references.

The Linux DDK CD image is also available for download at kernel.org, the CD image is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) for free redistribution.
