Exploring Embedded Linux and Writing My First Kernel Module | S2E1

In this episode of “Build, Create & Learn – A Maker’s Journey”, I kick off a brand-new season by diving deep into Embedded Linux and Kernel Driver Development — exploring what really happens when software meets hardware. After years of working with microcontrollers, I wanted to understand how Linux handles that same low-level communication. So I set up a dedicated Ubuntu environment, customized my development setup, and built my very first “Hello Kernel” module — my first real step into the world of kernel programming. It was both exciting and humbling. From setting up virtualization on my Mac with UTM, configuring the right build tools and kernel headers, to finally seeing my own “Hello Kernel” message appear in dmesg — this episode marks the start of a completely new learning journey into the core of the operating system itself. 🔧 Topics in this episode: Why I’m diving into Embedded Linux and kernel development Difference between microcontrollers and microprocessors Setting up Ubuntu 25.04 with UTM for kernel programming Customizing the terminal with Zsh and Oh-My-Zsh Writing and compiling my first “Hello Kernel” module Loading and inspecting kernel modules with insmod and dmesg Reflections on the Linux boot process and kernel internals Why understanding the kernel matters for modern maker projects This episode is about more than just Linux — it’s about curiosity, learning something completely new, and building a deeper understanding of how code really interacts with hardware. If you’re curious about Embedded Linux, C programming, or how the kernel works under the hood, you’ll definitely enjoy this one. ----------- 💬 Socials: Instagram: / herndlbauer Bluesky: herndl.bsky.social Twitter: / herndlbauer ----------- Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 00:58 - Why I'm diving into the Linux Kernel 02:42 - Microcontroller vs. Microprocessor 04:40 - Setting up my development environment 07:17 - My First Kernel Module 09:30 - Learnings along the way 12:50 - What's next ----------- 🎧 Listen to the full episode also on: https://makers-journey.podbean.com 📬 Sign up to the Maker’s Logbook — a weekly peek into my workshop: https://herndlbauer.kit.com 🌐 More about my projects: https://herndlbauer.com 🛠️ Let’s build, create, and learn — together. #EmbeddedLinux #LinuxKernel #MakerProjects #CProgramming #KernelDevelopment #Ubuntu #Makers #DIY #Linux #Hardware
