eBook Description:
The Art of ARM Assembly, Volume 1: 64-Bit ARM Machine Organization and Programming. Modern Instructions for 64-Bit ARM CPUs.
Building on Randall Hyde’s iconic series, The Art of ARM Assembly, Volume 1: 64-Bit ARM Machine Organization and Programming delves into programming 64-bit ARM CPUs the powerhouses behind iPhones, Macs, Chromebooks, servers, and embedded systems.
Following a fast-paced introduction to the art of programming in assembly and the GNU Assembler (Gas) specifically, you’ll explore memory organization, data representation, and the basic logical operations you can perform on simple data types. You’ll learn how to define constants, write functions, manage local variables, and pass parameters efficiently. You’ll explore both basic and advanced arithmetic operations, control structures, numeric conversions, lookup tables, and string manipulation in short, you’ll cover it all.
You’ll also dive into ARM SIMD (Neon) instructions, bit manipulation, and macro programming with the Gas assembler, as well as how to:
- Declare pointers and use composite data structures like strings, arrays, and unions
- Convert simple and complex arithmetic expressions into machine instruction sequences
- Use ARM addressing modes and expressions to access memory variables
- Create and use string library functions and build libraries of assembly code using makefiles
This hands-on guide will help you master ARM assembly while revealing the intricacies of modern machine architecture. You’ll learn to write more efficient high-level code and gain a deeper understanding of software-hardware interactions essential skills for any programmer working with ARM-based systems.
The Art of ARM Assembly, Volume 1: 64-Bit ARM Machine Organization and Programming book is the latest in Randall Hyde’s iconic series on assembly language programming. A comprehensive masterclass on 64-bit ARM, it guides you through the instruction set for the increasingly popular 64-bit ARM CPU, teaching you to translate high-level language operations into assembly language, write powerful programs unique to ARM, and handle the development of large software projects easily.
This book’s “quick-start” chapter lets you hit the ground running, showing you how to begin writing simple programs right away. After learning basic 64-bit ARM architecture and syntax for the GNU assembler, Hyde goes in-depth on the fundamentals of machine organization, computer data representation and operations, and memory access. After building a strong foundational knowledge for mastering GAS, control structures, and arithmetic functions, in later chapters you’ll be ready to dive into advanced ARM programming and that’s when the real fun begins.
Full of illuminating illustrations, portable source code, and hands-on exercises that test your skills, The Art of ARM Assembly, Volume 1: 64-Bit ARM Machine Organization and Programming is an essential reference guide from the world’s foremost expert on the subject.
