Over the last decade, the ARM architecture has become a dominant force globally, with over 2 billion ARM-based processors integrated into various products, from smartphones to automotive systems. A vast community of ARM developers, including software developers, system designers, and hardware engineers, has emerged, yet no book has specifically addressed their needs for developing systems and software for ARM-based platforms. This text fills that void by offering a comprehensive overview of ARM core operations from a developer's standpoint, with a strong focus on software. It guides readers in writing efficient ARM software in both C and assembly, while also covering code optimization. The book features example code that can be incorporated into commercial products or serve as templates for rapid software development. It discusses both ARM and Thumb instruction sets, Intel's XScale processors, and highlights differences among ARM architecture versions. Additionally, it covers DSP algorithm implementation, exception and interrupt handling, cache technologies surrounding ARM cores, and effective memory management techniques. A concluding chapter anticipates the future of the ARM architecture, particularly ARMv6, designed to enhance DSP and media processing capabilities. The author team brings extensive ARM software engineering experience and a deep understanding of developer needs, providing practical, executable code available

Two high school buddies in the 1980's prank their way into a dream job hosting a radio morning show. Will they figure out they've been pranked in time to save the radio station and themselves? The year was 1988 and every man in America dreamed of being Burt Reynolds. Or they were at least jealous of him for marrying Loni Anderson. Meanwhile, in the Atlanta suburbs, two teenage pranksters stumble into the dream job they never even knew they dreamed of... morning show hosts on a rock radio station. Richard finally has a shot at the successful life nobody believed he was capable of, but only if Brad gives up his college scholarship and a future partnership in his Dad's law firm. The odds are stacked against them with a program director who only hired them so they could unwittingly destroy the radio station. Keeping the show alive for two weeks will take a miracle. And a little help from Atlanta's most popular baseball player, NASCAR's greatest living legend and an unsuspecting teenage pop starlet. Rise of the Radio Gods is the hilarious prequel to the novel Blowing Up the Airwaves from real life radio veteran Chris Wright.
