The Designer's Guide to the Cortex-M Processor Family: A Tutorial Approach

<p>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/M0+/M3 and M4. It then examines the more advanced features of the Cortex architecture such as memory protection, operating modes and dual stack operation. Once a firm grounding in the Cortex M processor has been established the book introduces the use of a small footprint RTOS and the CMSIS DSP library.</p> <b> <p>With this book you will learn:</p> <ul></b> <p><li>The key differences between the Cortex M0/M0+/M3 and M4 </li><li>How to write C programs to run on Cortex-M based processors </li><li>How to make best use of the Coresight debug system </li><li>How to do RTOS development </li><li>The Cortex-M operating modes and memory protection</li><li>Advanced software techniques that can be used on Cortex-M microcontrollers </li><li>How to optimise DSP code for the cortex M4 and how to build real time DSP systems</li></ul><ul><li>An Introduction to the Cortex microcontroller software interface standard (CMSIS), a common framework for all Cortex M- based microcontrollers </li><li>Coverage of the CMSIS DSP library for Cortex M3 and M4 </li><li>An evaluation tool chain IDE and debugger which allows the accompanying example projects to be run in simulation on the PC or on low cost hardware</li></ul>
