Can any one suggest me a good ebook for ARM  programming in C

Badly in need of it.

Thank you in advance.

    Are you already familiar with embedded programming and C in general? I am a fairly newcomer to the ARM platform and for the most part I learned everything I needed to know from AVR tutorials and ebooks. If you are not using specific driver libraries (StellarisWare, etc) then you will be hitting the processor's registers directly and at that point you are basically doing pretty much the same thing you would in any embedded processor.

    While I understand that you might want a book specifically targeted at the ARM platform, if you can't find anything that fits that bill then I would recommend finding an AVR book of which there should be plenty. The base concepts will be pretty much the same, the logic you use to accomplish tasks will be pretty much the same, and about the only thing you will need to adjust is your compiler environment. No matter what book you end up with, you will need the datasheet and user guide for the processor you intend to work with so you can figure out what registers are available and how to address them.

    I apologize that I can't give you a one word answer, but I don't think there is a good book aimed at nuts-and-bolts ARM development yet. There are books aimed at the mbed processor, but my understanding is that the mbed uses a higher level language, etc.

    As far as the basics are concerned, I liked the following book:

    Also this booklet was invaluable in learning how the Cortex does certain things, and how to do certain things on a Cortex. It is STM32 specific, but the principles apply to all Cortex processors with minimal modification, if any:
