Mastering ARM hardware architecture opens a world of programming for
nearly all phones and tablets including the iPhone/iPad and most Android
phones. It's also the heart of many single board computers like the
Raspberry Pi. Gain the skills required to dive into the fundamentals of
the ARM hardware architecture with this book and start your own projects
while you develop a working knowledge of assembly language for the ARM
64-bit processor.
You'll review assembly language programming for the ARM Processor in
64-bit mode and write programs for a number of single board computers,
including the Nvidia Jetson Nano and the Raspberry Pi (running 64-bit
Linux). The book also discusses how to target assembly language programs
for Apple iPhones and iPads along with 64-Bit ARM based Android phones
and tablets. It covers all the tools you require, the basics of the ARM
hardware architecture, all the groups of ARM 64-Bit Assembly
instructions, and how data is stored in the computer's memory. In
addition, interface apps to hardware such as the Raspberry Pi's GPIO
ports. The book covers code optimization, as well as how to
inter-operate with C and Python code. Readers will develop enough
background to use the official ARM reference documentation for their own
projects.
With Programming with 64-Bit ARM Assembly Language as your guide
you'll study how to read, reverse engineer and hack machine code, then
be able to apply these new skills to study code examples and take
control of both your ARM devices' hardware and software.
What You'll Learn
- Make operating system calls from assembly language and include other
software libraries in your projects
- Interface apps to hardware devices such as the Raspberry Pi GPIO
ports
- Reverse engineer and hack code
- Use the official ARM reference documentation for your own projects
Who This Book Is For
Software developers who have already learned to program in a
higher-level language like Python, Java, C#, or even C and now wish to
learn Assembly programming.
