1.0 About This Manual
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This manual is aimed at competent programmers who want to find out rapidly
how to exploit the ARM instruction set and make use of the ARM Software
Development Toolkit (the toolkit).  Where possible, we have given real
recipes, supported by on-line code explained and available for you to adapt
to your particular needs.  You will easily recognise where we have created
recipes purely for pedagogic purposes.
A broad spectrum of topics is covered in this volume, from introductory
illustrations through to complex examples.  However, the material has not
been grouped or ordered by complexity, but by theme, into four areas of
interest:

features of the ARM instruction set (see "ARM Instruction Set and Processor
Features" starting on page 6).
exploring ARM Assembly Language by example (see "Exploring ARM Assembly
Language" starting on page 20).
interfacing C and ARM Assembly Language (see "Interfacing Assembly Language
and C" starting on page 62).
programming in C with the ARM Software Development Toolkit (see
"Programming in C" starting on page 76).

To get the most out of the recipes, this manual should used in conjunction
with the on-line examples, as well as the rest of the toolkit
documentation.  The user is sometimes referred to other parts of the
documentation for more information.
It is also likely to be useful to have a copy of the ARM Datasheet for
whatever device is being used, as these manuals do not cover device
specific details.
This is the first release of the Cookbook, and we know it's only partly
complete.  Nonetheless, we hope you'll like what is in place, and that
you'll send us your suggestions for further topics.
