What is ARM processor in embedded system?
An ARM processor is one of a family of CPUs based on the RISC (reduced instruction set computer) architecture developed by Advanced RISC Machines (ARM). The ARM processor’s smaller size, reduced complexity and lower power consumption makes them suitable for increasingly miniaturized devices.
Which type of processor are used in embedded systems?
Types of Processors
- General Purpose Processor (GPP) Microprocessor. Microcontroller.
- Application Specific System Processor (ASSP)
- Application Specific Instruction Processors (ASIPs)
- GPP core(s) or ASIP core(s) on either an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) or a Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) circuit.
What does it take to become an arm programmer?
To learn to design and program Arm-based embedded systems and implementing them in low-level hardware using standard C and assembly language Ability to evaluate implementation results (e.g. speed, cost, power) and correlate them with the corresponding programming techniques
Where can I find good resources on ARM technology?
ARM also has a list of resources here – ARM Related Books – that consists of a range of books and manuals is available covering ARM technology topics, including the various versions of the ARM architecture, related software and hardware, and embedded systems.
What skills do you need to be an embedded system engineer?
Ability to evaluate implementation results (e.g. speed, cost, power) and correlate them with the corresponding programming techniques Ability to build an Arm-based embedded system and program to satisfy given user specifications
What is an ARM7 processor?
If we understand the basic ARM7 processor, it will be very easy to develop applications and systems using advanced processors. For this tutorial, we have selected an ARM7 TDMI based processor called LPC2148, which is a 32 – bit MCU manufactured by NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips).
