The definitive guide to ARM Cortex M3 and Cortex M4 processors This book presents the background of the ARM architecture and outlines the features of the processors such as the instruction set interrupt handling and also demonstrates how to program and utilize the advanced features available such as the Memory Protection Unit (MPU). Chapters on getting started with IAR Keil gcc and CooCox CoIDE tools help beginners develop program codes. Coverage also includes the important areas of software development such as using the low power features handling information input output mixed language projects with assembly and C and other advanced topics.
