Question : The Definitive Guide to the ARM Cortex-M3

Dear, all.

I am new in this forum.
Recently I studying Cortex-M3 core, so I bought book "The Definitive Guide to the ARM Cortex-M3" by Joseph Yiu.
This book is very good book and this explains most of unaswered questions by TRM or AALRM.

As I found some mistake in this book, I would like to feedback, but I could not find publisher's homepage. Then I found Josephe's name in this forum, I would like to ask here.

In page 42, there is fig 3.11 and 3.12 but this contents is same as fig 3.8 and 3.9.
Fig 3.8 and 3.9 should be some program list.

Can I get correct figure? Or where I should contact?
Please advise.

    Thank you Joseph,

    That is a good point for the privileged mode ;-)

    Yes, I can use both SVC calls and direct calls (+ basepri...) and probably I will test both ways before taking the final decision.

    Once again thank you. Your book is really good guide for everybody switching to the Cortex family. Usually I don't need to read a book to start with a new micro, moreover I think I have deep knowledge about ARM7, but the Cortex core is so complex and without a guide like yours it will take ages to learn it..

    In my opinion there is a lack of good documentation, examples projects and tools for ARM in general. I am surrounded with people and companies which are using more expensive and weaker MCUs simply because they cannot afford to spend so much time and money for the switch. And that is pity... Maybe my sadness is due to my country because as a student my practice was on VAX/PDP11 and that was 20 years ago and now I see in the same university they teach 8/16 bit Microchip ... I don't think this "progress" is in the right direction but such is life ;-)
