Book Review: ARM System Developers Guide 
<Written by> Chris Hills, iSystem Ltd UK </W> Supplement sponsored by ARM www.arm.com
Chris Hills recommends a book for any software engineer developing systems around ARM based MCUs
THE WORLD HAS GONE ARM mad. is in “everything”, but because was originally an IP core for ASICs FPGAs, rather than a stand alone
MCU, most ARM books tend to be biased to this area or provide a high level over-view to help managers understand the revolution. This book is different: it is written for software engineers.
Unlike many books on MCU’s, it does not assume you are a student and explain hex, binary and what an address bus is. It also assumes familiarity with assembler and C. However there is a section explaining how to optimise C programs for the ARM architecture: for example, why in some cases 32 bit ints are more efficient than 8 bit chars for local 8 bit variables, and many other architecture specific optimisations. The following chapter goes a stage further and looks at optimising the assembler. The compilers used for examples are ARM’s own and GCC.
The early chapters on the architecture and the basics of interrupts and exceptions will be of use to most people, as will the section on firmware bootloaders. This looks at the ARMFirmware Suite, RedBoot and Sandstone, the authors’ own system.
C++ is mentioned in passing and Linux not at all. That said there is a chapter on embedded OS, using the author’s own SLOS or Simple Little OS, where they explore the pragmatics of building an ARM OS. Further chapters look the cache, MPU and MMU, which will answer most questions not only for an OS but the majority of apps as well
The chapter on DSP will serve as a useful introduction to many who want to know what DSP is. The complete Fast Fourier Transform example in assembler provides a good starting point to those porting DSP to ARM as it shows the optimisations. But this is really an over-view and those new to DSP will need more in-depth documentation.
The book covers up to architecture ARMv6 (ARM11 MCU’s) - which is everything current. What is missing? The peripherals. Those are specific to the silicon vendors who will no doubt be producing data for them. So armed with this book and the specific data sheet you should be able to do anything with ARM MCU’s.
I like the book and have been recommending
it to anyone working on ARM MCUs, The URL on the book’s cover drew a blank but if you look for the book via www.mkp.com you will eventually find the page with OS and all the source used in the book. <Ends>
