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

by Trevor Martin

The Designer's Guide to the Cortex M Family is a tutorial based book giving the key concepts required to begin development 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 develop basic C programs to run on the Cortex M0/M3 and M4. It then examines the more advanced features of the Cortex architecture such as memory protection, operating modes and dual stack. For those used to 8 and 16 bit architectures, advice is given on how to do RTOS development on a Cortex-M architecture.
