I'm designing an ARM MCU board for a cube satellite. This is the first MCU board I've made and good documentation would be very helpful. What ARM manufacturer or ARM series has the best documentation for beginners?
IMHO, STMicro and NXP though I think it may be subjective. For the ARM core, best place is ARM website.
Hope it helps.
From my experience: because I was familiar with NXP style of 8051 MCU datasheet before, I could simply read NXP M0 datasheet/users manual and sample code/LPCOpen code, to finish my M0 project development smoothly.
By the way, if you are new to ARM. Perhaps you also need a reference book "The_Definitive_Guide_to_the_ARM_Cortex-M0 (M3)" by Joseph Yiu.
Freescale Kinetis 32-bit Microcontroller (MCUs) based on ARM Cortex-M Cores may be suitable, you can find lots of documents from its official website.
From my point of view has all but I particularly adapted better with Microchip's documentation, I have found all the answers I need, and if not certainly complement with what's on the site http://infocenter.arm.com
Hi Sdamkjar,
STMicroelectronics offers a comprehensive set of technical documentation for its family of STM32 ARM Cortex-M MCUs on STM32 32-bit ARM Cortex MCUs - STMicroelectronics
Datasheets
Reference Manuals
Programming manuals
Application Notes
User Manuals
This documents are also directly accessible on your smartphone or tablet with the ST MCU Finder app for Android, iOS and Windows Phone
Hope this helps
Cheers
Thomas
Didn't know that ST MCU Finder has datasheets as well. I thought it only has MCU selection.
Thanks for this info.
