Features: This book is a theoretical introductory monograph focused on the topic of transitioning from the 51 microcontroller to ARM-based 32-bit embedded systems. The content primarily covers the fundamental knowledge of the 51 series microcontroller, basic knowledge of ARM processors, the differences between ARM and 51 series instructions, and the use of ARM processor development tools. Starting from general knowledge of the 51 series microcontroller, the book compares ARM processors with the 51 series, guiding readers to understand and learn about ARM processors. The content is divided into three parts:
Part 1 (Chapters 1-4) begins with the fundamental knowledge of the familiar 51 series microcontroller and introduces the basic knowledge of ARM processors, including comparisons between ARM and the 51 series, interrupt handling systems, register and memory structures, etc.
Part 2 (Chapters 5-9) provides a detailed comparison of the differences between ARM and 51 series instructions, further elaborating on the meaning and usage of ARM instructions. Starting from simple 51 series programming experience, it introduces software programming methods for ARM processors.
Part 3 (Chapters 10-12) covers the use of ARM processor development tools.
Any technician who has studied the 51 series microcontroller can easily learn the general knowledge of ARM processors, understand basic software design methods, and use development tools for program editing, compilation, linking, and debugging with the help of this book, becoming a preliminary ARM-savvy engineer capable of software design. This book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in electronic information, as well as electronic design engineers, for reference.
