Notebooks are not as inexpensive as their size might suggest; many carry a price tag equivalent to a full-size personal computer for business. They typically have almost as much computer capacity in terms of speed and storage. They do not offer the full expandability for supporting peripherals as a personal computer. We choose to focus on ARM because it is a commercial leader and because the architecture is clean, with few idiosyncrasies. We start by introducing assembly language instructions, operand locations, and common programming constructs, such as branches, loops, array manipulations, and function calls. We then describe how the assembly language translates into machine language and show how a program is ...
