ARM Assembly Language Fundamentals and Techniques William Hohl ARM, Inc., Austin, Texas, USA
Languages such as C++ and Java foster the belief that programmers need only address problems at the highest levels of a program's operation. Yet, even modern coding requires an understanding of basic assembly methods, as the hardware responsible for today’s coprocessors or for saturated math operations can be accessed only through its native instructions. Written by the director of ARM’s worldwide academic program, this volume examines code relevant to today's microcontrollers and teaches lessons applicable to other coding environments. Examples show students how to optimize routines and streamline coding, especially in the embedded space. The book provides access to a functional evaluation version of the RealView Microcontroller Development Kit from Keil.

Carefully designed to balance coverage of theoretical and practical principles, this textbook delineates the principles that support practice, using the unit processes approach as the organizing concept. Since technologies change but principles remain constant, the author identifies strands of theory rather than discusses the latest technologies, giving students a clear understanding of basic principles. With chapter glossaries, sidebars, illustrative examples, spreadsheet tables, problems, and a solutions manual, this book offers a complete presentation of the full scope of biological treatment. Additional supporting material is available for download on the web. Course Level: Undergraduate/Graduate Pages: 927 Pub Date: January 2011 Cat no: 61917 ISBN: 978-1-4200-6191-8 Price: $119.95 / ÂŁ76.99 Ancillary Materials: Solutions manual, online spreadsheets Selected Contents: Foundation. Particulate Separations. Microscopic Particles. Molecules and Ions. Biological Treatment. Also available as an eBook
