    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    This requires some kernel programming, but since you probably have all the necessary documentation for the controller, it might not be so hard. Have a look here:

    The second article will especially interest you, I think. It's by Mr Greg K-H, who is part of the kernel development team and is available on the kernel mailing list (but not the nicest guy IMO, so don't say I sent you ).

    C programming resources:
    GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
    The C Book -- nice online learner guide
    Current ISO draft standard
    CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
    3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
    cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge
