eBook Description:
Introduction to Computer Organization: ARM Edition. Built with ARM A64 Assembly Language.
The Introduction to Computer Organization: ARM Edition will show you how high-level code connects to computer hardware through ARM 64-bit assembly language. You’ll learn ARM assembly language from the ground up, and all you’ll need is some basic experience with programming. As you grow to understand ARM’s 64-bit design (from first principles), you’ll develop the skills to write more efficient, optimized code.
Learn the fundamentals:
- Data storage formats and computer encoding
- Binary and hexadecimal arithmetic operations
- Boolean algebra and logic gates
- Digital circuit design
Explore how software and hardware interact:
- Memory hierarchy, from CPU registers to the cloud
- CPU architecture and instruction execution
- ARM 64-bit assembly language programming
Get hands-on experience programming the GPIO on Raspberry Pi 3, 4, and 5 in assembly. Use GNU programming tools to examine code generated from C and C++ by the compiler, write assembly programs from scratch, and use the debugger to visualize execution, inspect registers, and understand machine-level operations. Each chapter includes practical “Your Turn” exercises to reinforce key concepts and build real-world programming skills.
Whether you’re optimizing code performance, developing embedded systems, or simply curious about how computers execute your programs, this Introduction to Computer Organization: ARM Edition provides deep insight into how software and hardware interact to bring programs to life.
