This new edition has been fully revised and updated to include extensive
information on the ARM Cortex-M4 processor, providing a complete
up-to-date guide to both Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 processors, and which
enables migration from various processor architectures to the exciting
world of the Cortex-M3 and M4.
This book presents the background of the ARM architecture and outlines
the features of the processors such as the instruction set,
interrupt-handling and also demonstrates how to program and utilize the
advanced features available such as the Memory Protection Unit (MPU).
Chapters on getting started with IAR, Keil, gcc and CooCox CoIDE tools
help beginners develop program codes. Coverage also includes the
important areas of software development such as using the low power
features, handling information input/output, mixed language projects
with assembly and C, and other advanced topics.
