ARM Architecture is designed in such a way that even readers with a basic understanding of microprocessors can learn and understand the concepts with ease. This book addresses the concerns of software developers, system designers, and hardware engineers focusing on development of drivers, software, and hardware components in a closely-knit fashion to avoid compatibility issues. ARM Architecture guides engineers through the workings of an ARM in system on chip (SOC) via an example driven systematic process. It also elucidates on data flow between peripherals and ARM in SOC, drivers and the programming of hardware peripherals through multiple illustrations. The book teaches the reader programming the ARM chip in both C and assembly language with the help of multiple examples. It helps the reader learn peripheral programming, which is necessary for firmware development for embedded systems and driver development. It also teaches the reader how to program a system on chip.
ARM Architecture does far more than just outline the ARM features; it explains the implementation of processor in real-world designs through a step-by-step process and is beneficial to people who are migrating from 8 bit micro-controllers to 32 bit micro-controllers and covers the ARM family extensively,elucidating on hardware blocks like SDRAM, RAM, etc.
