Linux drivers' book??

Hi.,

I have been wroking with embedded systems for long time. I am newbie to embedded linux..
I found many books online.
Could u recommend me a book for Linux device drivers to be usefull in my embedded work (e.g. for Timers, GPIOs, etc...)?

Thanx

"Essential Linux Device Drivers" by Venkateswaran. Prentice Hall.

There is an example driver for a Roller Wheel in Chapter 4: Laying the Groundwork (pg 94). Timers are covered starting on page 31.

Linux Device driver 3rd edition (http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/) is freely downloadable,
Linux Kernel Development 2nd edition, from Robert Love, edited by NOVELL

HI, this book explains how to write code in kernel space for lets say timers or UART etc... ONLY?
or it also mentions how to use them after writing a driver in user space?
thanks
