Publisher Description: Programmers learn by example and develop their skills by examining and modifying working programs. Assembly Language Using the Raspberry Pi is a complete tutorial that provides working example programs to introduce the novice to both CPU hardware and professional software development methods.
Assembly language is the computer programming language closest to a computer's "machine code language." Learning to program in assembly language is an excellent practical "hands-on" introduction to the details of computer architecture. Although applications and systems software written in assembly language were once common, assembly language is now primarily a bridge of understanding between computer architects and software developers. |
Contributor Bio(s): Dunne, Robert: - Robert Dunne has over 40 years of computer experience ranging from developing custom hardware interfaces on supercomputers to teaching technology courses in middle-school gifted-education programs. Starting out with degrees in physics and computer science, he was on staff at a national laboratory and a major engineering firm for ten years before becoming an entrepreneur in the development of embedded systems. Before working with the ARM architecture and Raspberry Pi, he had written well over 100,000 lines of assembler code developing systems and applications on nine unique CPU architectures encompassing mainframes, minicomputers, and microcomputers. During the past ten years, he has taught three undergraduate courses per semester in digital electronics and embedded systems and is notorious for getting his students working on a lab project within the first 60 seconds of the very first class meeting. |
