Intended for architects and software programmers, this guide provides a roadmap for transitioning from a traditional RTOS to the embedded Linux development environment. The Indian authors explain the bootloader interface, system memory map, MTD subsystem for accessing flash devices, embedded file systems, embedded drivers, various mechanisms for building kernel and user-space applications, debugging memory tools, kernel function instrumentation profiling methods, and embedded graphics. Distributed by CRC.

Embedded Linux System Design and Development:
-- Contains an entire roadmap for embedded Linux systems -- Explains the MTD (Memory Technology Device) model for Flash based storage -- Illustrates real-time programming techniques using POSIX.1b real-time extensions such as memory locking, real-time signals and asynchronous IO -- Examines uClinux architecture and its programming model -- Discusses porting applications from a traditional RTOS to embedded Linux
Based upon the authors' experience in designing and deploying an embedded Linux system with a variety of applications, Embedded Linux System Design and Development contains a full embedded Linux system development roadmap for systems architects and software programmers. Explaining the issues that arise out of the use of Linux in embedded systems, the book facilitates movement to embedded Linux from traditional real-time operating systems, and describes the system design model containing embedded Linux.
This book delivers practical solutions for writing,debugging, and profiling applications and drivers in embedded Linux, and for understanding Linux BSP architecture. It enables you to understand: various drivers such as serial, I2C and USB gadgets; uClinux differences with standard Linux; RTAI hard real-time; and the embedded Linux graphics subsystem. The text also promotes learning of methods to reduce system boot time, optimize memory and storage, and find memory leaks and corruption in applications.
This volume benefits IT managers in planning to choose an embedded Linux distribution and in creating a roadmap for OS transition. It also describes the application of the Linux licensing model in commercial products.

Not a good one. This is a collection of bulleted lists, I did not like it.
I bought it mainly for the uClinux chapter and the graphics one, but I did not find it useful.
