    Refer to the following link. It contains example of developing kernel linux char driver

    http://tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/2.6/html/x569.html

    If you want to start kernel developing from the beginning then start the tutorial from the beginning

    http://tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/2.6/html/index.html

    to build your kernel module use the Makefile:

    obj-m += module1.o

all
 make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules

clean
 make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean
