The Designer's Guide to the Cortex-M Processor Family, 2nd Edition

Preface

ARM first introduced the Cortex-M processor family in 2004. Since then the Cortex-M processor has gained wide acceptance as a highly scalable general purpose processor for small microcontrollers. At the time of writing, there are well over 3000 standard devices that feature the Cortex-M processor. These are available from many leading semiconductor vendors and the pace of development shows no sign of slowing. The Cortex-M processor family has now established itself as an industry standard. As such the knowledge of how to use it is becoming a requisite skill for professional developers. This book is intended as both an introduction to the Cortex-M processor and a guide to the techniques used to develop application software to run on ...
