The book Linux Device Drivers is my favorite reference for this type of
question. You can purchase it from anyone who has OReilly books, or
download it since it is published under Creative Commons. The newest
version is 3rd ed.

Subject: [gentoo-embedded] writing device drivers howto
Hi list!
This is some sort of offtopic, but I guess this is the best point to ask.
I have an embedded system running linux. I need to access some special
registers (e.g. containing the clock cycles, ...) So I managed to write a
very simple module, which is able to access the registers. But what makes
me worrying now, is the way, I have to get the data into my user-space
application. Is there some documentation, concerning writing device
drivers and accessing them from the user space anywhere? I found some
documentation, but either I did not understand the part about getting data
from kernel space into user space, or it was just simply missing.
Maybe anyone here can help me out!
Thanks in advance and kind regards!
Bye,
Andy
