## Main Idea
👨‍🔧 Character device driver (/dev) working as a FIFO pipe, created with a Linux Kernel module.
As such, it's SMP-Safe due to the use of semaphores (working as condition variable and mutexes).

Usage: Compile, load the module, create the driver (mknod), use the pipe!

$ make

$ sudo insmod fifodev.ko

$ sudo mknod -m 666 <pathname_char_file> c <major> <minor>
    
    $ # Enjoy your brand-new pipe! #

...

## Loading module into Android's Kernel

The module was developed for Debian, but can be easily used in Android.
You just need to use the <a href="https://github.com/Zildj1an/FIFO-Driver/blob/master/Makefile_Android">Makefile</a> for re-compiling. Please notice that the Makefile employs a compiled Android-x86 kernel <a href= "https://www.android.com/versions/oreo-8-0/"> oreo version </a>
