android binder driver

Question

I am trying to read Android source code to learn about binder, but I am not able to find the part of binder driver as described in the Android system architecture. Any idea where the binder code resides in Android source?

Answer 1

The binder driver can be found in the kernel source code:

It's location can vary depending on the source code you have access to. It is usually at :

/kernel/drivers/misc/binder.c
