ARM Assembly Language: Fundamentals and Techniques Hardcover – 19 Mar. 2009

4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 17 ratings

Written by the director of ARM’s worldwide academic program, this volume gives computer science professionals and students an edge, regardless of their preferred coding language. For those with some basic background in digital logic and high-level programming, the book examines code relevant to hardware and peripherals found on today's microcontrollers and looks at situations all programmers will eventually encounter.

The book’s carefully chosen examples teach easily transferrable skills that will help readers optimize routines and significantly streamline coding, especially in the embedded space.

This book is easily adaptable for classroom use. Instructors can access features that include a solutions manual, assembly language basics, problems, and actual code. The book also provides access to a fully functional evaluation version of the RealView Microcontroller Development Kit from Keil.

While it is still an important skill, getting good instruction in assembly language is not easy. The availability of languages such as C and Java foster the belief that engineers and programmers need only address problems at the highest levels of a program's operation. Yet, even modern coding methods, when done well, require an understanding of basic assembly methods such as those gained by learning ARM. Certain features that are the product of today’s hardware, such as coprocessors or saturated math operations, can be accessed only through the hardware’s native instructions. For that matter, any programmer wishing to achieve results as exact as his or her intentions needs to possess a mastery of machine code basics as taught in the pages of this book.

Of the 13 billion microprocessor-based chips shipped in the last year, nearly 3 billion were ARM-based, making operational knowledge of ARM an essential component of any programmer’s tool kit. That it can be applied with most any language makes it invaluable.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

William Hohl began his career as an electrical engineer with Texas Instruments in 1988. After completing graduate school at Texas A&M, he worked at Motorola's High End Microprocessor division on the MC68040 processor, the one used in the Apple Quadra, Sun workstations, and Next's desktop machines. From 1994 to 1997, he served on the first ColdFire (a 68000 derivative) processor design team. Afterwards, he joined ARM and helped to establish its first US design center in Austin, building parts of the ARM10 microprocessor. He has taught university students in over 30 countries, and held an adjunct faculty position for seven years in Austin. He held the position of Worldwide University Relations Manager at ARM for ten years, finally settling at Intel to write full time. He is currently a Senior Member of IEEE and holds six US patents in debug design.

This is a great introduction to ARM processors at the assembler level. It covers some pretty fundamental stuff, but also extends to some more advanced topics. It has been written with real applications in mind, with snippets of really useful implementation tips throughout the book.

Being able to access a demo version of the Keil tools allows you to get going on the examples and try things out yourself straight away (Shame there's not a linux version though).

I'd definitely recommend this to beginners and moderate assembler programmers. Although even advanced programmers would probably gain from reading a few of the sections.

Only downside is the price, which is a bit steep.

Al final no le di mucho uso, pero el libro es bueno, tapa dura y tamaño ideal. Lo necesitaba para una asignatura de arquitectura de computadores.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good reference book for ARM assembly language.
Reviewed in Canada on 6 December 2013
Not as basic as a beginner's guide but gives a good introduction to assembly language and a reference text. Not sure someone not versed in some form of assembly language would find it detailed or tutorial enough, but for those who understand what they are doing it is an excellent biik.
