Programming with 64-Bit ARM Assembly Language
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 projectsWHO THIS BOOK IS FORSoftware 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.STEPHEN SMITH is a retired Software Architect, located in Gibsons, BC, Canada.

Arduino Software Internals
It’s not enough to just build your Arduino projects; it’s time to actually learn how things work! This book will take you through not only how to use the Arduino software and hardware, but more importantly show you how it all works and how the software relates to the hardware.Arduino Software Internals takes a detailed dive into the Arduino environment. We’ll cover the Arduino language, hardware features, and how makers can finally ease themselves away from the hand holding of the Arduino environment and move towards coding in plain AVR C++ and talk to the microcontroller in its native language.What You’ll Learn:* How the Arduino Language interfaces with the hardware, as well as how it actually works in C++;* How the compilation system works, and how kit can be altered to suit personal requirements;* A small amount of AVR Assembly Language;* Exactly how to set up and use the various hardware features of the AVR without needing to try and decode the data sheets – which are often bug ridden and unclear;* Alternatives to the Arduino IDE which might give them a better workflow;* How to build their own Arduino clone from scratch.Who This Book Is For:No expertise is required for this book! All you need is an interest in learning about what you’re making with Arduinos and how they work. This book is also useful for those looking to understand the AVR microcontroller used in the Arduino boards. In other words, all Makers are welcome! Norman Dunbar is an Oracle Database Administrator. Norman has had a long running relationship with Electronics since childhood and computers since the late 1970s, and the Arduino was a perfect marriage of the two interests. With a love of learning new things, examining and explaining the Arduino Language and the hardware became a bit of a hobby, and as piles of notes expanded, Norman has now decided to publish his work.1.

Beginning Game Programming with Pygame Zero
Make fun games while learning to code. Focused on making games rather than teaching programming theory, in this book you're more likely to see code on how gravity affects a missiles trajectory instead of the most efficient way to search through data. Even then the code is kept simple as games should be about playability rather than complex physics. There are links to the official documentation when you need to lookup information that isn't included in the book.Start with a simple text based game to grasp the basics of programming in Python. Then moves on to creating simple graphical games in Pygame Zero. Not only will you learn object oriented programming to make it easier to make more complex games, you'll also work to create your own graphics and sounds. 3D graphics are a little complex. So we focus on 2D games, including spins on some classic boardgames and arcade games. All the games are designed to run on a Raspberry Pi. They will work on any Raspberry Pi, but will also work on any other computer that supports Python 3 along with Pygame Zero.The games you make will be playable and hopefully fun to play. And by the end of the book, you can step beyond the provided source code to develop your own unique games and programs.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN* Code in Python* Generate sounds and graphics for 2D games* Grasp object oriented programming with Pygame Zero WHO THIS BOOK IS FORBeginning game developers interested in working with low-cost and easy-to-learn solutions like Pygame Zero and the Raspberry Pi.STEWART WATKISS is a keen maker, programmer, and author of Learn Electronics with Raspberry Pi.

Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten der Gerätetypen erläutert er im ersten Teil des Buchs, »Geräteaufbau und Komponenten«, und liefert viel Hintergrundwissen zur Entstehungsgeschichte der Techniken. Im zweiten Teil widmet sich der Autor dem BIOS sowie den verschiedenen Betriebssystemen und beantwortet Fragen zu ihrer Installation, Einrichtung und Wartung. Die Anleitungen, darunter ein besonderer Abschnitt zur Vernetzung, sind so gehalten, dass der Leser sie versionsunabhängig anwenden kann. »Reparieren und Aufrüsten«, der dritte Teil des Buchs, wendet die im ersten Teil vermittelten Informationen in der Praxis an, und gibt darüber hinaus unverzichtbare Tipps zur Erweiterung bestehender Konfigurationen. Auf einem herausnehmbaren Poster sind Fehlersuchbäume für die häufigsten Problemfälle zusammengestellt, die Sie mit den Anleitungen im Buch effizient lösen können. Im letzten Teil werden Selbstbauvorschläge gezeigt, damit sich Hardware, die zu schade zum Wegwerfen ist, neu einsetzen lässt. Zu den Bauprojekten zählt der Umbau von Handys zum Fernschalter, die Konstruktion eines Netzwerktesters oder der Aufbau und die Programmierung von Interfaces für eigene Mess- und Steuerschaltungen.
