Hello, btw, have you checked this UIO (user-space drivers things out)? From what I've heard, kernel programming is significantly more difficult than user-lever programming. For example,you can't debug it normally with gdb, you can't use normal libraries, just the special in-kernel libraries, and memory management is harder also. By using this tool you only need to write a small portion in kernel-space, and can write the rest in user-space. Using C++ for the user-space would not be a problem here for instance. Just a suggestion though, might be better to do it completely in kernel space.
