ARM Microprocessor Systems : Cortex-M Architecture, Programming, and Interfacing

Features Discusses all three concepts required for Cortex-M3/M4 microcontroller: architecture, programming and interfacing Includes a laboratory manual that facilitates the hands-on experience of learning a microcontroller for implementing real-life applications Illustrates the interfacing aspects of the book using a state-of-the-art hardware platform (TM4C123 from Texas Instruments with ARM Cortex-M4 processor) Uses the software tools from Keil (that has been acquired by ARM) to illustrate the assembly as well as C programming Summary This book presents the use of a microprocessor-based digital system in our daily life. Its bottom-up approach ensures that all the basic building blocks are covered before the development of a real-life system. The ultimate goal of the book is to equip students with all the fundamental building blocks as well as their integration, allowing them to implement the applications they have dreamed up with minimum effort.
