Overview:This book is about Embedded Systems with special focus on the ARM7 processor and an introduction to the latest ARM series, which is Cortex. In the current technological scenario, embedded systems have made their mark in every field. Anything from hand-held electronic devices to missiles, automobiles, factories and aircrafts has ‘embedded electronics’. Being an embedded systems engineer means having an overall awareness of electronics, computer science, web engineering, networking, and also many aspects of control systems and mechanical engineering. In this book, only the electronics and software parts have been covered. The ARM processor is the most widely used processor used in embedded products such as mobile phones, tablets, and other high-end applications. As such, a good knowledge of the architecture and programming of this processor as well as the techniques of product development is very important for any student/engineer who intends to take up a job in this field.Features:• Basic hardware and software features of microcontroller and embedded design are explained in a clear and concise manner• Architectural features of ARM7 are discussed in depth while retaining the simplicity in explanation• Assembly language programming is made easy, with many worked-out examples• Worked-out and simulated peripheral programming examples in C makes the understanding of a typical ARM7 MCU complete• Detailed coverage of the advanced ARM Cortex-M architecture and its features
