USB drivers included in the Linux kernel are rife with security flaws that in some cases can be exploited to run untrusted code and take over users' computers. The vast majority of these ...

在介绍设备端驱动前，我们先来看看 Linux USB子系统。这里的子系统是相对于整个Linux kernel 来说的，而非单一设备。从整体概括了USB主机端和设备端的通信框架。 Linux kernel 中早已集成了较为完善的USB协议栈，由于其规模庞大，包含多个类别的设备驱动，所以Linux ...

Academics say they discovered 26 new vulnerabilities in the USB driver stack employed by operating systems such as Linux, MacOS, Windows, and FreeBSD. The research team, made up by Hui Peng from ...

In theory, writing a Linux device driver shouldn’t be that hard, but it is harder than it looks. However, using libusb, you can easily deal with USB devices from user space, which, for many purposes, ...

Almost all Linux kernel device drivers work on more than just one type of processor. This only happens because device-driver writers adhere to a few important rules. These rules include using the ...

Editor's Note: Embedded Linux has consistently ranked among the top operating systems used in embedded system design. With the rapid growth in interest in the Internet of Things (IoT), the ability of ...

Running Linux from a USB drive is possible. You can boot just about any distribution you want from USB. There are some things you should consider before going this route. I've used Linux in just about ...
