This repository is meant to store all of the basic kernel modules and drivers that are written or adapted by Lendl Uy in the process of learning Linux driver development. This repository will continually be updated with kernel module codes.
• To ensure that kernel headers are properly installed in the machine, run the following commands in the terminal:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt remove --purge linux-headers-*
sudo apt autoremove && sudo apt autoclean
sudo apt install linux-headers-generic
