There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Highlights include discussions about registers, Arm multiple load/store instructions, the Arm function calling convention, tactics for writing fast C and assembler, DSP implementation, memory management, and assembler code for things like division. The chapters on firmware and basic OS implementation each show a simple yet functional implementation.
My only complaint is that there's nothing practical in here about IO, not even JTAG. The authors have limited themselves to the ARM core only, perhaps because there are many differences between the microprocessors that use it. This makes the title a bit misleading - in my view a System Developer's Guide should have enough information so that you can at least write a "Hello World" program of some sort, even if it doesn't work on everybody's hardware.
So to do anything practical, you'll have to track down a lot more documentation for your specific microcontroller. Still, five stars for the clear, detailed information on the topics it does cover. I will certainly be using it as a reference.
The chapters are great and very well explained. I especially enjoyed the book from chapter 9 til the end, where I learned quite a few things, and reviewed others that I had to learn the hard way.
Maybe my review isn't as helpful as other's reviews, since I'm not weel spoken, I'm not very experienced and this is my first book about ARM architecture (I have the kindle version and the actual book), but I hope that this review helps you in your decision.
PS: The kindle version has some nasty errors (grammar) and the layout isn't that great, but it's still a great book.
Very helpful!
