Objective

Device address assignment represents a very typical control transfer and is representative of most other control transfers. The objective of the project was the development of a kernel module to address this problem of address assignment. The kernel module developed, attempts to configure and set the address for a device on the bus. Even though the present problem targets address assignment for a single device, solving the problem involving a heirarchy of devices is a minor extension as it essentially involves using the solution for the single-device problem repeatedly.
