Enable Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) kernel debug logging: set drm.debug=0x1f boot parameter, inspect dmesg, and debug display stack output.
Enable dynamic debugging in Linux kernel modules: configure pr_debug(), toggle debug statements via /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control, and dmesg.
Understand Linux kernel module auto-loading: trace USB/PCI uevent broadcasts, MODALIAS environment strings, udev matching, and modprobe execution.
Create custom Yocto Project recipes automatically: use recipetool create, parse source tarballs, generate bitbake recipes, and compile meta-layers.
Fix dtc: command not found error in Linux: install device-tree-compiler on Ubuntu/Debian, compile Device Tree Source (.dts) to binary blob (.dtb).
