Cortex-M7 Processor
Abstract
The Cortex-M7 is the latest Cortex-M processor to be released by ARM. While it maintains the same programmer’s model as the earlier Cortex-M processors it provides a big performance increase through architectural additions and a more advanced memory hierarchy. This chapter examines these new features and shows how to optimize your application code to run on a Cortex-M7-based microcontroller.
