Hi All,

I am an Embedded Software Engineer with 3+ years of experience. I am fascinated by kernel development and want to be a device driver developer.

I have done following so far.
#Studied LDD3.
#Subscribed to eudyptula challenge and submitted solution for 4th task(waiting for next task).
#Have compiled and installed kernel successfully on multiple boards.

I want to start contributing to kernel so I looked into staging and found that I can not work on TODO unless I have required hardware to test patch (which
unfortunately I don't have).

Requesting you to guide me about how to start working on kernel/device drivers development.

Thanks,
Abhishek
