This project is an open source Linux GPU kernel driver implemented as a loadable kernel module. It functions as a GPU firmware loader, providing the low-level driver services necessary to enable direct communication between the operating system and graphics processing units. The driver utilizes a dual-module architecture that separates GPL-licensed kernel code from proprietary firmware blobs. This system extracts and links signed binary firmware images into the kernel modules at driver load time. The project provides driver support for Turing-architecture GPUs and all subsequent newer hardwa
Builds hardware driver modules from source for multiple supported architectures.
This project is a Linux kernel designed for Windows Linux integration, providing the underlying operating system kernel required to execute binary files and applications within the Windows Subsystem for Linux. It utilizes hypervisor-based virtualization to run a full kernel within a lightweight utility virtual machine managed by a Windows host. The repository enables the customization and compilation of the kernel from source. This allows for the modification of system behavior, the addition of specific drivers, and the tailoring of hardware compatibility for virtualized environments. The sy
Enables compiling a kernel from source with specific configuration changes and packaging modules into a virtual disk image.
The Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide is an educational resource that teaches how to write, compile, and manage loadable kernel modules for modern Linux kernels. It covers the complete lifecycle of kernel modules, from building and loading to unloading and debugging, with a focus on extending kernel functionality without recompiling the entire kernel. The guide provides comprehensive coverage of core kernel programming concepts including dynamic module loading, file-operation registration, interrupt handling, kernel-user data copying, concurrency control, and deferred task scheduling. It
Teaches compiling kernel module source code against the running kernel's build tree to produce a .ko file.
ANE is an open-source framework for training neural networks directly on Apple's Neural Engine hardware, bypassing Apple's public Core ML toolchain through reverse-engineered private APIs. It provides low-level control over the ANE, enabling developers to compile custom compute graphs into binary kernels, partition transformer model layers into hardware-compatible subgraphs, and share GPU-allocated memory with the Neural Engine via zero-copy IOSurface buffers. The framework distinguishes itself by offering direct access to hardware performance counters and power telemetry for benchmarking thr
Compiles custom compute graphs into ANE-specific binary kernels using reverse-engineered private compiler services.
OpenWrt-Rpi is a firmware builder and embedded Linux build toolset designed to compile custom router operating system images for Raspberry Pi and NanoPi hardware. It utilizes a GitHub Actions CI pipeline to automate the generation of fresh firmware images from the latest source code via daily updates. The project maintains a custom package repository and local software sources for managing community plugins and kernel modules. This infrastructure is used to ensure version consistency and prevent dependency conflicts during the installation of network drivers and system extensions. The build
Builds loadable kernel modules from source to provide hardware support while preventing dependency conflicts.
This is the official documentation repository for Raspberry Pi hardware and software.

Provides instructions for building loadable kernel module objects and installing them for dynamic loading.
This project provides a development framework for writing loadable Linux kernel modules using the Rust programming language. It establishes a methodology for safe systems programming by enforcing memory and thread safety within the restricted execution environment of the kernel, allowing developers to extend operating system functionality while preventing common memory corruption errors. The framework distinguishes itself through automated generation of type-safe foreign function interfaces, which bridge high-level code with low-level kernel headers and system structures. It maps high-level s
