Embedded systems with ARM Cortex-M Microcontrollers in Assembly Language and C / Yifeng Zhu

Includes index.

ARM instruction set architecture-- arithmetic and logic-- load and store-- branch and conditional execution-- structured programming-- subroutines-- 64-bit data processing-- mixing c and assembly-- interrrupt-- fixed-point and floating-point arithmetic-- software-based floating-point operations-- hardware-based floating-point operations-- instruction encoding and decoding-- general purpose i/o (GPIO)-- general-purpose tmers-- stepper motor control-- liquid-crystal display-- interfacing with external character LCD controllers-- real-time clock-- direct memory access-- analog-to-digital converter-- digital-to-analog converter-- serial communication protocols--

The second edition includes three new topics, including floating-point programming (FPU), interfacing with external HD44780-compatible LCD, and digital signal processing (DSP). The inclusion of FPU and DSP expands the coverage of this book to Cortex-M4 and Cortex-M7 processors. The second edition has restructured some chapters to make the book easier to follow. The book introduces basic programming of ARM Cortex chips in assembly language and the fundamentals of embedded system design. It presents data representations, assembly instruction syntax, floating-point operations, SIMD instructions, implementing fundamental controls of C language at the assembly level, and instruction encoding and decoding. The book also covers many advanced components of embedded systems, such as software and hardware interrupts, general purpose I/O, LCD driver, keypad interaction, real-time clock, stepper motor control, PWM input and output, digital input capture, direct memory access (DMA), digital and analog conversion, serial communication (USART, I2C, SPI, and USB), and digital signal processing.
