Demonstrates not only how to write efficient ARM software in C and assembly but also how to optimize code. This book outlines distinctions among the versions of the ARM architecture. It demonstrates how to implement DSP algorithms. It describes the cache technologies that surround the ARM cores as well as memory management techniques.
Over the last ten years, the ARM architecture has become the most pervasive 32-bit architecture in the world. In this new developer's guide, the authors provide a comprehensive text describing the operation of the ARM core from a product developer's perspective with a clear emphasis on software. The book demonstrates not only how to write efficient ARM software in C and assembler but also how to optimize code.
