ARM Microcontroller Interfacing: Hardware & Software

The book is very basic. It could be applied to any processor. It would have been great if sample programs using specific registers in the ARM was utilized to do interfacing.

Having spent the last 25 years working on 8 Bit micro's, I was looking for something to advise on the considerably more complex 32bit Arm processors.Amazon recommended this Book along with another I was looking at. It's title of Arm Interfacing: Hardware and software sounded just what I was looking forI have to say that I was very disappointed with this book. The hardware shown is all general purpose, and could relate to any micro controller. There is very limited actual Arm specific stuff. A few good examples of code would have made a huge difference. Having read this book, I feel I haven't learned anything.If you are looking for some general micro controller interface circuits, then this could be good for you. If you are looking for Arm specific's then perhaps not.Sorry but It's a NO from me

There's some reasonable stuff covered, but the book is very focussed on the Atmel AT91SAM7X256 processor. That's OK as the author has to chose something, but make sure you're aware of whether this covers what you need. I confused ARM7 (=ARMv4) with the later Cortex M3 (=ARMv7) processors. ARM7 and ARMv7 are not the same thing at all. I only realised when it didn't use any CMSIS functions. It was my mistake so not something I can really criticise the book for, but be careful. Had there been a preview available I might have realised and not bought it.Also, a lot of time is spent explaining some very simple hardware concepts like using a transistor to drive a LED. The more complex stuff is there too but that was one whole chapter out of ten.
