Linux & UNIX Administration Editorial Review
This book is a good introduction to device driver development for FreeBSD. It covers the architecture and provides examples for working with FreeBSD's kernel and module system. It is a helpful resource for anyone looking to delve into FreeBSD's operating system and is recommended as a must-read for anyone starting out on device driver coding. The book is well-written and concise, making it an ideal choice for an academic practice. However, it only scratches the surface and may not be particularly useful for those doing embedded work.
