THE DESIGNER'S GUIDE TO THE CORTEX-M PROCESSOR FAMILY

The Designer's Guide to the Cortex-M Family is a tutorial-based book giving the key concepts required to develop programs in C with a Cortex M-based processor. The book begins with an overview of the Cortex-M family, giving architectural descriptions supported with practical examples, enabling the engineer to easily develop basic C programs to run on the Cortex-M0/M3 and M4. It then examines the more advanced features of the Cortex architecture, such as memory protection, operating modes and dual stack. Those used to 8- and 16-bit architectures will find advice on how to do RTOS development.
