Hi iuri,

How and where do i start?
If you want to create a new driver, I suggest that you read the developer tutorial.
Of course, you can look at the existing drivers for concrete examples.

A second tutorial can teach you how to configure a new driver.
What do i need to create the driver?
what kind of specifications?
To create a driver, you have to know how to communicate with your device.
The simplest way comes when the manufacturer gives you a SDK to work with (example: the VAmp driver).
Sometimes you will have to directly communicate through USB or Serial Port. In this case you need the precise protocol used to communicate with the device.

I hope this helps,
Feel free to ask any question if the tutorials need more details,
