Hi Tomek, Some years ago Matias Nitsche (AKA v0id / protobits) started the creation of a NuttX book, documenting many of internal OS functions.
But after some time he gave up, because he realized that NuttX is a movable target. Same happens to Linux (although currently I think Linux is more stable). See what happened to Linux Device Drivers from Alessandro Rubini, although the book still useful and relevant, many Linux functions and subsystems features described in the book doesn't exist anymore. So, to user point of view the best book about NuttX is any book about POSIX and the best "book" for NuttX kernel developers is the source code itself.
