- Check the Makefile for your preferences, then type make
  Once the utils have compiled you can test the modules interface by
  installing the hello world device driver.

To build the utilities type:
make

To install the utilities type:
make install
You might want to change the BINDIR in the makefile first.

To install the example driver use:
insmod drv_hello.o

It should report succefull loading. If it complains about incorrect kernel
version remove release.h and remake the driver.

Then to check it works make the special file with

mknod /dev/hw c 31 0

You can see the driver in all its glory with

cat /dev/hw

Use lsmod and rmmod to check its existance and remove it.


Then write new drivers for all your favourite toys.
