This book has a place on the desk of every engineer developingsoftware for the ARM processor; it is a thorough introduction fornewcomers, and a useful reference for the ARM expert. I have been usingthis book since reviewing the first draft, and I can recommend it toanyone who wants the get the most out of their ARM powered products.
Peter Maloy, CodeSprite Inc.
Overthe last ten years, the ARM architecture has become one of the mostpervasive architectures in the world, with more than 2 billionARM-based processors embedded in products ranging from cell phones toautomotive braking systems. A world-wide community of ARM developers insemiconductor and product design companies includes softwaredevelopers, system designers and hardware engineers. To date no bookhas directly addressed their need to develop the system and softwarefor an ARM-based system. This text fills that gap.
This bookprovides a comprehensive description of the operation of the ARM corefrom a developers perspective with a clear emphasis on software. Itdemonstrates not only how to write efficient ARM software in C andassembly but also how to optimize code. Example code throughout thebook can be integrated into commercial products or used as templates toenable quick creation of productive software.
The book covers both the ARM and Thumb instruction sets, covers Intel's XScale
Processors,outlines distinctions among the versions of the ARM architecture,demonstrates how to implement DSP algorithms, explains exception andinterrupt handling, describes the cache technologies that surround theARM cores as well as the most efficient memory management techniques. Afinal chapter looks forward to the future of the ARM architectureconsidering ARMv6, the latest change to the instruction set, which hasbeen designed to improve the DSP and media processing capabilities ofthe architecture.
