The Microprocessor
A Practical Introduction using the Arm Cortex-M0 Processor
Wiley-Arm Professional Computing and Electrical Engineering Series
Provides a comprehensive introduction to microprocessor architecture and programming concepts, using Arm Cortex-M0 processor as an example
The Microprocessor offers a supremely accessible and user-friendly introduction to microprocessor architecture and programming. Using Arm Cortex-M architecture to explain core concepts, the book unpacks the fundamentals of microprocessor architecture and creates a foundation for subsequent teaching in more advanced concepts.
Hardware-independent and filled with exercises that can be executed on any Arm Cortex-M based microcontroller, the book covers the essential aspects of microprocessor architecture, explained with simple programming examples for ease of understanding. By combining conceptual knowledge with practical exercises, the book ensures that students develop a comprehensive understanding of microprocessor architecture and programming.
S. K. Sinha, retired from Department of Electronic Systems Engineering (DESE, earlier known as CEDT), Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, set up the first embedded systems lab at CEDT and has helped introduce MTech courses in several colleges in India. At present, he is Chief Architect at Lab To Market Innovations, specializing in reliable IIoT systems.
Sinha and Darshak have contributed to several workshops on embedded systems for teachers and students in various colleges, which have been the source of motivation behind this book.
