Programming ARM Controllers?

try embedded
Note: This was originally posted on 14th March 2013 at http://forums.arm.com

As an hobbyist from my engineering i learned about working on 8051, PIC, and AVR microcontrollers. I did programming on these, created programmer boards for these too. I did many projects using these.

I started a webiste http://www.tryembedded.com/ want to use ARM and Android OS for designing embedded projects.

As i entered my career, i found the latest processors/controllers used in market are out of ARM. I have great interest in learning ARM Controllers, i want to dump the code in to the controller on my own.

Can anyone please give me guidance for making the simple USB/serial development board/programmer for ARM based controllers.

I have tried googling but couldnt get enough information.

Please do share any resource links which could be useful to me as a beginner to ARM.

Thanks!!!!

    Hello Praneeth,
    [size=2]I believe there is quite a step from these micrcontrollers to a full blown application processor running Android.[/size]
    Debugging and tracing features are much more advanced, and is using the industry standard called JTAG.
    You can buy a JTAG adapter from ARM (http://arm.com/produ...pters/index.php) and from third parties. You can also look at open source to build your own JTAG target.
    If you want to start on similar products to the ones you mentioned, you can look at the ARM Cortex-M family of processors used in microcontrollers.
    If you wish to run Android on a recent processor, you will look at the ARM Cortex-A series. The ARM Cortex-A Programmer's Guide would be a good way to start.
