 This is intended as a pretty comprehensive guide to programming MIPS, wherever it's different from programming any other 32-bit CPU.  It's the first time anyone has tried to write a readable, and comprehensive, explanation and account of the wide range of MIPS CPUs available. It should be very helpful for anyone programming MIPS who isn't insulated by someone else's operating system.  Also, the author is a free-unix enthusiast who subscribes to the Linux/MIPS mailing list!

-[[Embedded Linux System Design and Development]] explains an entire development roadmap for embedded Linux systems. This book facilitates movement to embedded Linux from a traditional RTOS and explains the system design model with embedded Linux that involve the BSP, embedded storage, real-time programming and graphics. It also explains the design and concepts behind embedded Linux variants such as RTAI and ucLinux.  It offers solutions to typical problems faced by embedded Linux developers including power management, system boot up time, memory leaks, debugging and profiling. Illustrated with examples for both 2.6 and 2.4 kernels, this book is ideal for systems architects, programmers and managers
