[Gllug] Writing drivers

[Jonathan Dye]

Hi,

A friend has asked me to look at writing a driver for a custom piece of
hardware that he has built (MPEG-1 encoder board via parallel port).  I've
had a look around the kernel and I own a copy of "Understanding the Linux
kernel" which I've read and understood.  I know how his hardware works but
not much about the parallel port drivers/software architecture under linux.
Anyone got any tips on where to start with this stuff.

JD

P.S. I'm a compitent programmer and I've done low level embedded stuff
before, not as high level as this though.
