Ep.08 - S2|E1: My Journey into Embedded Linux & Kernel Development

In this season premiere of Build, Create & Learn – A Maker’s Journey, I begin a brand-new adventure: diving into Embedded Linux and Kernel Driver Development.

After years of working with microcontrollers and maker projects, I wanted to understand what really happens under the hood — how Linux talks to hardware, what lives inside the kernel, and why that matters for anyone building modern embedded systems.

I share how I set up a dedicated Linux environment, wrote my first “Hello Kernel” module, and what I learned along the way about the invisible bridge between user space and kernel space. It’s the start of a deeper exploration into the layers that make our devices tick — from bootloaders to drivers and everything in between.

Thanks for tuning in to this new season. Here’s to more building, creating, and learning — this time, inside the Linux kernel!
