Description

See How the Magic HappensBuilt with ARM A64 Assembly LanguageSee How the Magic HappensBuilt with ARM A64 Assembly LanguageThe ARM edition of Introduction to Computer Organization 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 encodingBinary and hexadecimal arithmetic operationsBoolean algebra and logic gatesDigital circuit designExplore how software and hardware interact-Memory hierarchy, from CPU registers to the cloudCPU architecture and instruction executionARM 64-bit assembly language programmingGet 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 guide provides deep insight into how software and hardware interact to bring programs to life.

Critic Reviews

"Forged in the furnace of the classroom, this book enables students to synthesize, comprehend and create their own assembler programs. The process [Robert Plantz] leads them though is quite elegant, building from the basics . . .  to infinity and beyond. 
There are 10 kinds of people who understand binary. When finished with this book you will know what camp you are in."
—Dale Phillips, Professor of Computer Science at Modesto Junior College

"Provides an excellent introduction to the ARM assembly language. It contains the perfect mix of theory and examples to help students understand and apply the concepts. I highly recommend this book."
— Duy Nguyen, Professor of Computer Science at Palomar College
