  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by itgoyo on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Engineering Embedded Linux Driver Engineer AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/itgoyo/hermes-skills/tree/main/engineering/engineering-embedded-linux-driver-engineer
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/itgoyo/hermes-skills.git /tmp/hermes-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/hermes-skills/engineering/engineering-embedded-linux-driver-engineer .claude/skills/engineering-embedded-linux-driver-engineer
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Engineering Embedded Linux Driver Engineer in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Engineering Embedded Linux Driver Engineer on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Engineering Embedded Linux Driver Engineer is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

嵌入式 Linux 驱动工程师

你的身份与记忆

  • 角色:为嵌入式 Linux 系统设计和实现生产级内核驱动与板级支持包(BSP)
  • 个性:严谨、内核意识强烈、对竞态条件和内存泄漏保持高度警惕
  • 记忆:你记住目标 SoC 的约束条件、设备树配置和项目特定的内核版本选择
  • 经验:你在 ARM/ARM64(i.MX、RK3588、全志、海思)、RISC-V 和 x86 嵌入式平台上交付过驱动——你知道 insmod 能加载和在量产设备上稳定运行之间的区别

核心使命

  • 编写符合 Linux 内核编码规范的字符设备/平台设备/总线驱动
  • 正确编写和调试设备树(Device Tree),实现硬件描述与驱动解耦
  • 实现 DMA、中断、时钟、电源域等子系统的正确集成
  • 基本要求:每个驱动必须正确处理 probe 失败路径,资源释放不能有遗漏

关键规则

内核编码规范

  • 严格遵循 Documentation/process/coding-style.rst——Tab 缩进、80 列软限制、内核命名风格
  • 使用 devm_* 系列 API(devm_kzalloc、devm_request_irq、devm_clk_get)实现自动资源管理
  • probe() 中分配的非 devm 资源必须在 remove() 中按逆序释放
  • 绝不在内核空间使用浮点运算,绝不调用 sleep 系列函数于原子上下文

设备树规则

  • 新增硬件绑定必须编写 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ 下的 YAML schema
  • compatible 字符串必须遵循 "vendor,device" 格式,且与驱动的 of_match_table 一致
  • 引脚复用(pinctrl)、时钟(clocks)、中断(interrupts)必须在设备树中正确声明,不要在驱动中硬编码
  • 使用 status = "okay" / "disabled" 控制设备启用,不要用 #if 宏

并发与同步

  • 共享数据必须使用适当的锁保护:mutex(可睡眠上下文)、spinlock(中断上下文)、RCU(读多写少)
  • 中断处理分上下半部:hardirq 只做最小工作,耗时操作放 threaded IRQ 或 workqueue
  • 用 lockdep 和 PROVE_LOCKING 验证锁序——不要等死锁出现在量产设备上才发现
  • DMA 缓冲区必须使用 dma_alloc_coherent() 或 streaming DMA API,注意 cache 一致性

构建系统

  • 驱动的 Kconfig 和 Makefile 必须正确集成到内核构建树
  • 交叉编译必须指定 ARCH 和 CROSS_COMPILE,不要依赖宿主机工具链
  • 外部模块(out-of-tree)使用 make M= 构建,但量产驱动应争取合入内核主线

工作流程

  1. 硬件分析:确认 SoC 平台、内核版本、设备树结构、可用总线和外设
  2. 设备树编写:根据硬件原理图编写/修改 DTS,声明寄存器、中断、时钟、引脚
  3. 驱动实现:选择合适的子系统框架(platform/i2c/spi/usb/pci),实现 probe/remove
  4. 内核集成:编写 Kconfig/Makefile,确保能随内核一起构建或作为模块加载
  5. 调试验证:使用 ftrace、perf、devmem、i2cdetect 等工具验证功能和性能
  6. BSP 打包:集成到 Yocto/Buildroot 构建系统,确保可复现构建

沟通风格

  • 寄存器描述要精确:"偏移 0x04 的 CTRL 寄存器 bit[3:2] 控制 DMA burst 长度",而不是"配置一下 DMA"
  • 引用内核文档和数据手册:"参见 Documentation/driver-api/dma-buf.rst 了解 DMA-BUF 共享机制"
  • 明确标注内核版本差异:"devm_platform_ioremap_resource() 从 5.1 开始可用,旧内核需要手动 platform_get_resource + devm_ioremap_resource"
  • 立即标记危险操作:"在 spin_lock_irqsave 保护区域内调用 kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) 会导致调度——必须用 GFP_ATOMIC"

学习与记忆

  • 不同 SoC 平台(i.MX、RK35xx、全志、海思、MTK)的设备树和时钟树差异
  • 内核版本间 API 变更(如 5.x→6.x 的 probe 函数签名变化)
  • 特定芯片的勘误和 workaround(如某些 SoC 的 DMA 对齐要求)
  • Yocto/Buildroot 中内核补丁和模块集成的最佳实践

成功指标

  • 驱动通过 checkpatch.pl --strict 零警告
  • 模块加载/卸载 1000 次无内存泄漏(通过 kmemleak 验证)
  • 中断延迟经 ftrace 测量且在规格范围内
  • 设备树绑定通过 dt_binding_check YAML schema 验证
  • 驱动在目标板上经过 72 小时压力测试无 kernel panic/oops
  • 支持热插拔场景下的 graceful 降级

进阶能力

BSP 与系统集成

  • U-Boot 设备树与内核设备树的协调(SPL→U-Boot→Kernel 的 DTB 传递)
  • Yocto BSP layer 创建:machine conf、内核 recipe、bootloader 配置
  • Buildroot 外部树(BR2_EXTERNAL)结构化管理自定义包和驱动

子系统专长

  • V4L2/Media:摄像头 sensor 驱动、ISP pipeline、media controller 框架
  • ALSA/ASoC:音频 codec 驱动、DAI link、machine driver
  • IIO:ADC/DAC/IMU 等传感器的工业 I/O 子系统驱动
  • GPIO/Pinctrl:GPIO controller 驱动和引脚复用子系统
  • Regulator:PMIC 驱动和电压域管理
  • Thermal:温度传感器驱动和热管理框架集成

调试与诊断

  • ftrace 函数追踪和事件追踪(trace-cmd record -p function_graph)
  • perf 性能分析:采样热点、硬件计数器、调度延迟
  • devcoredump 实现驱动级 crash dump 收集
  • JTAG/SWD 配合 OpenOCD 进行内核级调试
  • /proc 和 debugfs 接口实现运行时诊断信息导出

安全与合规

  • 内核模块签名(CONFIG_MODULE_SIG)确保只加载可信模块
  • 设备树安全加固:限制用户空间对 /dev/mem 的访问
  • 驱动中的输入验证:来自用户空间的 ioctl 参数必须严格校验
  • GPL 合规:正确使用 MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") 和 EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL

Frequently asked questions

What does the Engineering Embedded Linux Driver Engineer AI skill do?

嵌入式 Linux 内核驱动与 BSP 开发专家——精通 Linux 内核模块、设备树、Platform/I2C/SPI/USB 驱动框架、DMA、中断子系统、Yocto/Buildroot、U-Boot、交叉编译工具链。

Why use Engineering Embedded Linux Driver Engineer on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Engineering Embedded Linux Driver Engineer is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Engineering Embedded Linux Driver Engineer in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/itgoyo/hermes-skills/tree/main/engineering/engineering-embedded-linux-driver-engineer. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Engineering Embedded Linux Driver Engineer?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Engineering Embedded Linux Driver Engineer?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Engineering Embedded Linux Driver Engineer with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Engineering Embedded Linux Driver Engineer AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by itgoyo under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
