This is the authoritative reference guide to the ARM RISC architecture. Produced by the architects that are actively working on the ARM specification, the book contains detailed information about all versions of the ARM and Thumb instruction sets, the memory management and cache functions, as well as optimized code examples.

Covers everything you might need to know about ARM assembly language programming. It has three sections:

A. CPU Architecture -- ARM instruction set (regular and Thumb) -- ARM addressing modes -- Examples
B. Memory and System Architecture -- System Control Coprocessor, MMU, Protection Unit, Caches and Write Buffers
C. Vector Floating Point Architecture -- Formats, instructions and addressing modes
