ARM A32 Assembly Language: 32-Bit ARM, Neon, VFP, Thumb

For the price this book is OK, if you want a survey of ARM Assembler programming. However, if you wish to enter the examples and see them run then this is not a good book due to the errors. An example is the makefile given with prog7 -- it did not work for me.

Great intro to ARM assembly that explains it at a fundamental level. Could be challenging for new developers, as there are gaps in explanation. The overall content makes up for the gaps, imho.

Better organized than the previous edition, and includes very useful information on newer ARM features like Neon, UAL, and AArch64. Definitely recommended to get started with ARM assembly on Raspbian before moving to bare metal assembly.

I am thrilled at how amazing the book is. Very clear. I was regret to not buy it at the beginning at the semester.

English Writing is bad and explanation is far from good. Hardly to understand the sections even with enough excellent knowledge from other assembly languages. There are a lot forward declarations, clearly not explained well when the time comes. Not all instruction's syntax is defined so it cannot be used as reference. Not good for beginners or experts.

Very well explained book. It worth each cents!

Excellent book

Good book on ARM Assembly Language

I enjoyed Bruce’s work on the BBC computer when I owned one in the 80s and I have always been meaning to learn more about the ARM processor so this book was an obvious good place to start.The book is very good introduction to the ARM assembly language. If you have a Raspberry Pi or other ARM based system running Linux, you will be able to easily use this book. The concepts are covered well and concisely making it an accessible read particularly if you have coded before.I was also pleased with the gentle introduction to the GNU debugger - another thing that I’ve had on my list to learn and now I feel confident that I could use it. Also, there is an introduction to macro assembly. Further chapters cover floating point instructions and Thumb.It is fair to say that it would help if you have coded before to read the book but that is not a fault of the book - the subject matter is not easy. Although there are a few typos in the edition I read, I have found this book to be an excellent read. I have learned a great deal about ARM.

This book simply and concisely helps you learn ARM assembly language programming.I have not finished reading it, but it goes into the background of ARM architecture. Helps you understand the differences between many types of ARM processors.I really like Bruce Smith's book "Raspberry Pi ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE Raspbian Beginners" too.I find his books contain details you'd have to "really dig for", to find out.Love This Guy ...-- An Assembly Language Programmer and Engineer trying to learn programming on the new embedded systems.

What I particularly liked about this book was that it wasn't like the ARM Architecture Manuals. That is to say, it didn't list loads of instructions and all the options, leaving you uncertain what they're actually for, and utterly confused by the modifiers. Also, it didn't get too bogged down in what it means to be a superscalar predictive-execution RISC processor (except where it was needed). No, it was a proper tutorial introduction to the ARMv7 architecture from a point of view of the practical programmer.Good bits:(1) the fact that it actually gave real sample programs, and explained basic stuff like how to assemble and link assembler programs (which is not obvious if you're only used to C, C++ or even higher-level languages)(2) the useful discussion on how to leverage the powerful set of routines already present in the OS and the C standard library(3) the basic, but thorough, introduction to vector computation with NEONNot so good bits:(1) the chapter on IO was a bit weak, as it ended up using a rather generic model that didn't exactly touch much onto the practical. A shame, because the bits about virtual memory, and the need to map hardware registers onto user memory was good.So, an excellent starter.
