After evaluating the KEIL C51 for a time and comparing it to our old Tasking environment the needed difference is to small for us.
We now want to skip KEIL C51 and move to KEIL ARM We will be using the ARM uC for lager projects (RTX, IO, USB) parallel to our existing C51 uC.
The ARM "world" is totally new to us. We will be buying a evaluation board soon (have to determine which / ULINK already available).
Now the question: in the C51 forums newbies are told to read the NXP documentation about the Architecture, Instruction Set and Hardware Description. ("the bible" as erik malund has called it)
Is there a kind of "bible" available for the ARM family or is there other must have literature?
Bart; I second Dan's suggestions, especially the data sheets. A couple of books that I can recommend are: Architecture Reference Manual by David Seal. ISBN 0-201-73719-1. The second is a series of 'How To' manuals from Hitex. http://www.hitex.com/download They have a series of "The Insider's Guide To...." with a number of different ARM devices. These manuals will also help you define your ARM device requirements for your design. I use the Keil MCB2148 Eval board for much of my initial designs even if I do not use the actual LPC2148 device in my final design. Bradford
