Workshop 2: Hello, Kernel! Linux Driver Development in Rust - Part 1 (Additional Registration Required)

Tuesday September 8, 2026 09:00 - 12:30 EDT

Palais des Congrès de Montréal

Rust is entering the Linux kernel, bringing memory safety and modern tooling to low-level systems programming. In this hands-on workshop, attendees will learn how to build a Linux kernel with Rust support enabled, set up a complete development environment targeting both x86-64 and aarch64, and write a practical Rust-based misc device driver. We’ll explore kernel-space inter-process communication and the use of background tasks for asynchronous work, giving participants a concrete, end-to-end understanding of how Rust can be used to develop real Linux drivers today.

Workshops are optional add-ons for in-person attendees only and are not included in RustConf tickets. Workshop tickets can be purchased for an additional fee.
