Description
Read through Programming Project from Page 96 to 101 of textbook.
Part 1 (5 pts):
Finish installing Ubuntu in VirtualBox.
Submission: provide a screenshot of the installed system in virtualBox (see
Project1_Report_Sample in iCollege)
Part 2 (5 pts):
Finish the requirements in Part I assignment of textbook. Follow the steps and create a
kernel module simple and then try to load and remove it. You can download simple.c and
corresponding makefile Makefile_1 (no need to change the content of the makefile except
for the name; see Note 1 below) from iCollege.
Submission: Right after loading and removing module, check the contents of kernel log
buffer using command dmesg and provide a screen shot for each result (see
Project1_Report_Sample in iCollege).
Part 3 (15 pts):
Download an incomplete version of simple-solution.c and the corresponding makefile
Makefile_2 (no need to change the content of the makefile except for the name; see Note 1
below) from iCollege. Follow the content in Part II of the textbook and add code in simplesolution.c to finish the Part II assignment. Note that we have changed the struct birthday
by adding a string element “name”. In your program, the name of the first struct birthday
element should be your full name.
Submission:
(1) Right after loading and removing module, check the contents of kernel log buffer using
command dmesg and provide a screen shot for each result (see Project1_Report_Sample in
iCollege).
(2) The completed simple-solution.c.
Note:
1) Use two directories for the two parts when testing your program. Make sure there is no
space in the directory name, otherwise problems may happen when using command make to
compile your program. You need to change the name of the makefiles to “Makefile”
(without file name extension) in each directory.
2) Upload the file simple-solution.c and a project report (named as “Project1.pdf” or
“Project1.doc”) to iCollege. The project report should include the required screenshots and
source code of simple-solution.c. For details about project report, please refer to the project
report sample.
