From the Back Cover

About the ARM Architecture

The ARM architecture is the industry's leading 16/32-bit embedded RISC processor solution. ARM Powered microprocessors are being routinely designed into a wider range of products than any other 32-bit processor. This wide applicability is made possible by the ARM architecture, resulting in optimal system solutions at the crossroads of high performance, low power consumption and low cost.

About the book

This is the authoritative reference guide to the ARM RISC architecture. Produced by the architects that are actively working on the ARM specification, the book contains detailed information about all versions of the ARM and Thumb instruction sets, the memory management and cache functions, as well as optimized code examples.

4.0 out of 5 stars 3 Reasons to buy in spite of the free ARM PDFs, April 29, 2003
By 
This review is from: ARM Architecture Reference Manual (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
Most everything here is in ARM's free databook PDFs. So why buy it? (1) It is cheaper than printing those huge PDFs. (2) It is easier to read. (3) It gives some history and tips that are difficult to find in the PDFs, but help us all write better code.

One complaint: poor binding. Manuals should be bound so they lay flat on a desk and stay open to the page being referenced. The fact that my cheif complaint has nothing to do with the content says volumes about this book.

Good buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Reference Manual, August 28, 2001
By 
Michael Kelly (San Diego, California United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: ARM Architecture Reference Manual (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
Covers everything you might need to know about ARM assembly language programming. It has three sections: A. CPU Architecture - ARM instruction set (regular and Thumb) - ARM addressing modes - Examples B. Memory and System Architecture -System Control Coprocessor, MMU, Protection Unit, Caches and Write Buffers C. Vector Floating Point Architecture - Formats, instructions and addressing modes For a more broad and general introduction into ARM Furber's book is excellent and should be purchased first(unless you are just need a reference manual).

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Reference, but way to general and out of date, May 13, 2007
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: ARM Architecture Reference Manual (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
THis was one of the more expensive books I bought for info on the ARM architectures, but I'm disappointed, the book covers just the core ARM architecture and is a few years out of date now too. Its a tough book to write, no doubt, there are so many variations on ARM that its unrealistic to expect them all to be coevered, but I'd like to have seen some more specifics. Most ARM imlementations by the multiple vendors ot there put in a bunch of peripherals, I'd like to have seen some attemtp to address those features better.

If you wanted a detailed ARM core reference, it might be the book for you, but bear in mind it doesn;t addres the newer products...
