Synopsis
This is the third edition of the Definitive Guide to the ARM
Ò
Cortex
Ò
-M3. The book
name has been changed to reflect the addition of the details for the ARM Cortex-M4
processor. This third edition has been fully revised and updated, and now includes
extensive information on the ARM Cortex-M4 processor, providing a complete
up-to-date guide to both Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 processor but which also en-
ables migration from various processor architectures to the exciting world of the
Cortex-M3 and M4.
The book presents the background of the ARM architecture and outlines the fea-
tures of the processors such as the instruction set and interrupt-handling and also
demonstrates how to program and utilize various advanced features available such
as the floating point unit.
Chapters on Getting Started with Keil
Ô
MDK-ARM, IAR EWARM, gcc, and
CooCox CoIDE tools are available to enable beginners to start developing program
codes. The book then covers several important areas of software development such
as input/outp ut of information, using embedded OSs (CMSIS-RTOS), and mixed
language projects with assembly and C.
Two chapt ers on DSP features and CMSIS-DSP libraries are contributed by Paul
Beckmann, PhD, the founder and CEO of DSP Concepts. DSP Concepts is the com-
pany that developed the CMSIS-DSP library for ARM. These two chapters cover
DSP fundamentals and how to write DSP software for the Cortex-M4 processor,
including examples of using the CMSIS-DSP library, as well as useful information
about the DSP capability of the Cortex-M4 processor.
Various debugging techniques are also covered in various chapters of the book, as
well as topics on software porting from other architectures. This is the most compre-
hensive guide to the ARM Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 processors, written by an
ARM engineer who helped to develop the core. It includes a full range of easy-
to-understand examples, diagrams, quick reference appendices such as instruction
sets, and CMSIS-Core APIs.
