Publisher's Synopsis
1) Our ARM book series The ARM CPU is licensed and produced by hundreds of companies. The ARM Assembly language instructions and architectures are standardized and all the licensees must follow them. The first volume of this series (ARM Assembly Language Programming & Architecture by Mazidi & Naimi) covers the Assembly language programming, instructions, and architecture of the ARM and can be used with any ARM chip, regardless of the chip maker. Since the licensees are free to design and implement their own peripherals, the peripherals of ARM chips vary greatly among the licensees. For this reason, we have dedicated a separate volume to each licensee. This volume covers the peripheral programming of Texas Instruments (TI) ARM Tiva C series. Throughout the book, we use C language to program the Tiva C Series TM4C123G chip peripherals. We use TM4C123G LaunchPad(TM) Evaluation Kit which is based on ARM(R) Cortex(R)-M4F MCU. See our website for tutorials and support materials: http: //www.MicroDigitalEd.com/ARM/TI_ARM_books.htm 2) Who will use our ARM textbooks? The primary audience of our textbook on ARM is undergraduate and graduate engineering students in Electrical and Computer Engineering departments. We assume no background in microcontroller and embedded systems programming. It can also be used by embedded system programmers who want to move away from 8- and 16-bit legacy chips such as the 8051, AVR, PIC, and HCS08/12 family of microcontrollers to ARM. Designers of the x86-based systems wanting to design ARM-based embedded systems can also benefit from this series.
