i am a computer geek and have some c++ programming knowledge . i am welling to go into the embedded programming arena. have got some noob question :

1- how do i start ?
2- what book you recommend ?
3- is it ok for a complete beginner to go into the ARM programming ?

i am welling to start with a Micro controller profile: Cortex-M series using C or C++ but not any other language especially assembler :)

thank you

    It depends what you want to learn I suppose, embedded programming or how to design your own board. Sure you can do it all yourself, but I'm not sure you gain much if what you really want to learn is how to program the things. The board design is more of a distraction if you ask me (and harder than it looks, pin density on modern MCUs isn't really designed for hand soldering).


    In terms of how much of the software "package" you use, well it's up to you. The mbed code is just library code or example code. If you don't want to use it at all and want to roll all of your own from scratch using a normal compiler such as the Keil tools, then nothing is stopping you doing that.

    *EDIT* In terms of books, I'd recommend: [color=#333333]The Definitive Guide to the ARM[/color][color=#333333] [/color][color=#333333]Cortex-M3[/color]
