Here are some good books on linux kernel device driver programming:

If you look online you will get lots of info on this topic, here are my fav; one:

How to write kernel 2.6 module; Look for the latest version of "procreadwrite". This is a 2.6 kernel modules that demonstrates how to create /proc entires and write directly to user-land via tty. It's updated to reflect replacement of "current->tty" with "current->signal->tty". : http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=79066
