Raspberry Pi Assembly Language Programming

Gain all the skills required to dive into the fundamentals of the Raspberry Pi hardware architecture and how data is stored in the Pi’s memory. This book provides you with working starting points for your own projects while you develop a working knowledge of Assembly Language programming on the Raspberry Pi.  You'll learn how to interface to the Pi’s hardware including accessing the GPIO ports. The book covers the basics of code optimization as well as how to inter-operate with C and Python code, so you'll develop enough background to use the official ARM reference documentation for further projects.  With Raspberry Pi Assembly Language Programming as your guide, you'll study how to read and reverse engineer machine code and then apply those new skills to study code examples and take control of your Pi’s hardware and software both. For this New Edition Since the original edition, the Raspberry Pi OS has moved to 64-bits. The operating system has been revamped along with several new versions of the Raspberry Pi hardware. The new edition is 64-bit, based on the latest Raspberry Pi OS and hardware, and incorporates reader feedback from the first edition. What You'll Learn

• Program basic ARM 64-Bit Assembly Language
• Interface with the various hardware devices on the Raspberry Pi
• Comprehend code containing Assembly Language
• Use the official ARM reference documentation
