1) Our ARM book series The ARM CPU is licensed and produced by hundreds of companies. The ARM Assembly language instructions and architectures are standardized and all the licensees must follow them. The first volume of this series (ARM Assembly Language Programming & Architecture by Mazidi & Naimi) covers the Assembly language programming, instructions, and architecture of the ARM and can be used with any ARM chip, regardless of the chip maker. Since the licensees are free to design and implement their own peripherals, the peripherals of ARM chips vary greatly among the licensees. For this reason, we have dedicated a separate volume to each licensee. This volume covers the peripheral programming of Texas Instruments (TI) ARM Tiva C series. Throughout the book, we use C language to program the Tiva C Series TM4C123G chip peripherals. We use TM4C123G LaunchPad(TM) Evaluation Kit which is based on ARM(R) Cortex(R)-M4F MCU. See our website for tutorials and support materials: http: //www.MicroDigitalEd.com/ARM/TI_ARM_books.htm 2) Who will use our ARM textbooks? The primary audience of our textbook on ARM is undergraduate and graduate engineering students in Electrical and Computer Engineering departments. We assume no background in microcontroller and embedded systems programming. It can also be used by embedded system programmers who want to move away from 8- and 16-bit legacy chips such as the 8051, AVR, PIC, and HCS08/12 family of microcontrollers to ARM. Designers of the x86-based systems wanting to design ARM-based embedded systems can also benefit from this series. See our website for other titles for ARM Programming and Embedded Systems: http: //www.MicroDigitalEd.com/ARM/ARM_books.htm

Why MSP432? The MSP430 is a popular microcontroller designed and marketed by the Texas Instruments (TI). It comes with some powerful peripherals such as ADC, Timer, SPI, I2C, UART, and so on. It has a 16-bit proprietary RISC architecture meaning only TI makes the products. Due to popularity of ARM architecture, many semiconductor design companies are moving away from proprietary architecture and adopting the ARM as the CPU of choice in all their designs. This is the case with MSP430. The MSP432 is an ARM version of the MSP430. In other words, all the MSP430 peripherals are moved to MSP432 with ARM instructions and architecture as the core processor. Another major feature of the MSP432 is its lower power consumption which makes it an ideal microcontroller for use in designing low power devices with IoT. See the link below: http: //www.ti.com/lsds/ti/microcontrollers_16-bit_32-bit/msp/low_power_performance/msp432p4x/overview.page Why this book? While there are several MSP430 textbooks on the market, currently there is only one textbook for MSP432. This textbook covers the details of the MSP432 peripherals such as ADC, Timer, SPI, I2C and so on with ARM programs. It also includes the programs for interfacing of MSP432 to LCD, Serial COM port, DC motor, stepper motor, sensors, and graphics LCD. All the programs in the book are tested using the MSP432 LaunchPad trainer board from TI. See the link below: http: //www.ti.com/tool/MSP-EXP432P401R#buy

To write programs for Arm microcontrollers, you need to know both Assembly and C languages. The book covers Assembly language programming for Cortex-M series using Thumb-2. Now, most of the Arm Microcontrollers use the Thumb-2 instruction set. The ARM Thumb-2 Assembly language is standard regardless of who makes the chip. However, the ARM licensees are free to implement the on-chip peripheral (ADC, Timers, I/O, etc.) as they choose. Since the ARM peripherals are not standard among the various vendors, we have dedicated a separate book to each vendor. Some of them are: TI Tiva ARM Programming For Embedded Systems: Programming ARM Cortex-M4 TM4C123G with C (Mazidi & Naimi Arm Series)TI MSP432 ARM Programming for Embedded Systems (Mazidi & Naimi Arm Series)The STM32F103 Arm Microcontroller and Embedded Systems: Using Assembly and C (Mazidi & Naimi Arm Series)STM32 Arm Programming for Embedded SystemsAtmel ARM Programming for Embedded Systems For more information see the following websites: www.NicerLand.comwww.MicroDigitalEd.com

The book presents laboratory experiments concerning ARM microcontrollers, and discusses the architecture of the Tiva Cortex-M4 ARM microcontrollers from Texas Instruments, describing various ways of programming them. Given the meager peripherals and sensors available on the kit, the authors describe the design of Padma – a circuit board with a large set of peripherals and sensors that connects to the Tiva Launchpad and exploits the Tiva microcontroller family’s on-chip features. ARM microcontrollers, which are classified as 32-bit devices, are currently the most popular of all microcontrollers. They cover a wide range of applications that extend from traditional 8-bit devices to 32-bit devices. Of the various ARM subfamilies, Cortex-M4 is a middle-level microcontroller that lends itself well to data acquisition and control as well as digital signal manipulation applications. Given the prominence of ARM microcontrollers, it is important that they should be incorporated in academic curriculums. However, there is a lack of up-to-date teaching material – textbooks and comprehensive laboratory manuals. In this book each of the microcontroller’s resources – digital input and output, timers and counters, serial communication channels, analog-to-digital conversion, interrupt structure and power management features – are addressed in a set of more than 70 experiments to help teach a full semester course on these microcontrollers. Beyond these physical interfacing exercises, it describes an inexpensive BoB (break out board) that allows students to learn how to design and build standalone projects, as well a number of illustrative projects.

Stellaris LM4F120 and Tiva C Series LaunchPad is great products based ARM Cortex-M for learning. This book helps you to get started with Stellaris LM4F120 and Tiva C Series LaunchPad and how to build programs using Energia and Code Composer Studio. The following is highlight topics: * Preparing Development Environment * Developing program using Energia * Developing program using Code Composer Studio 6.x * Accessing board through GPIO, Analog I/O, UART, I2C, and SPI * Providing several code samples to demonstrate how to work

Arm is the dominant CPU architecture used in microcontrollers and embedded systems. The Arduino is a widely used platform to program microcontrollers. The Energia platform uses the Wiring and Arduino framework to program the TI Arm microcontrollers. In this book, we use TI Arm LaunchPad board and Energia IDE (integrated development environment) to program the I/O switches, LEDs, LCD, keypad, Serial Com, 7-segment LED, ADC, sensors, Graphic LED, stepper and DC motors. We also provide SPI and I2C programming examples for interfacing of the above devices. Our website www.MicroDigitalEd.com has all the tutorials, source codes, PowerPoints, and other support materials for this book. This book allows students to use the same Arm platform for both Arduino and the advanced embedded systems courses. Our TI MSP432 or Tiva ARM books can be used for the advanced embedded systems courses in third and fourth year of engineering program after taking the Arm-based Arduino course in the first or second year using the same hardware.
