I’ve just downloaded an eBook “Linux Device Drivers – Third Edition” by Jonathan Corbet, Alessandro Rubini and Greg Kroah-Hartman.

It’s been a while hanging around here since 2005 but I had no need to develop more drivers for Linux but now I think it’s a good time to get it and read it because it’s free and I am preparing my next hardware projects.

That’s all folks, I’m reading the book…

This is a further step of OS development but now it is held in Rusia. Phantom is a new kind of OS. You will no longer see a file(s). The hardware component will also be exposed to the userland rather than kernel.

The question is how do we copy object(s) to a handy storage such as flashdisk, SD card, etc? We won’t see a file at all but an object. A storage will lists objects but of course we could still think it as a files. What the exact mean here is just we no longer care with the “extension” or dots to humanly identify a complete block/chunks of data in a physical storage as with current OS today.
