Product Description
This user's guide does far more than simply outline the ARM Cortex-M3 CPU features; it explains step-by-step how to program and implement the processor in real-world designs. It teaches readers how to utilize the complete and thumb instruction sets in order to obtain the best functionality, efficiency, and reuseability. The author, an ARM engineer who helped develop the core, provides many examples and diagrams that aid understanding. Quick reference appendices make locating specific details a snap!

Whole chapters are dedicated to:
Debugging using the new CoreSight technology
Migrating effectively from the ARM7
The Memory Protection Unit
Interfaces, Exceptions,Interrupts
...and much more!

*The only available guide to programming and using the groundbreaking ARM Cortex-M3 processor

*Easy-to-understand examples, diagrams, quick reference appendices, full instruction and Thumb-2 instruction sets are all included

*The author, an ARM engineer on the M3 development team, teaches end users how to start from the ground up with the M3, and how to migrate from the ARM7

A Marginal Book, 2008-07-01
I am new to ARM programming but this book left me with more questions than answers when it comes to low level hardware initialization/configuration/interaction. However, as far as I can tell there is not much else out there becides the ARM user and reff manuals.

Driving without a destination, 2008-03-30
This book seems to have been edited by a script kiddie who appearantly decided that the writer should cover everything he didn't understand himself. If you don't know how a stack works and what its purpose is then you need a general introduction into microprocessor architecture and leave the grown-up stuff for later. Especially because if you still need these things explained to you the glaring mistakes in this book will only confuse you. Truly embarrassing is a superfluous aside which attempts to explain the difference between bit banding and bit banging and immediately mistypes the latter (page 92).
If you are looking for a comprehensive book explaining what the Cortex-M3 architecture has to offer and what distinguishes it from other architectures then look elsewhere.
