Getting started with ARM hardware development.

Note: This was originally posted on 28th June 2012 at http://forums.arm.com

I have been spending a lot of time in the last two years learning to use arm devices, writing code for them etc.

I have built various little projects which use arm SOC to finish projects.

However, I have reached a point where I would like to start from scratch with hardware development. What I would like is if someone could point me to a book or online reference which is an introduction to building my own ARM devices, and how I hook the chip up to other components etc.

I am sure someone here will know where I should go for this as we all have to start somewhere. I am not Naive, I don't intend on trying to create the next major piece of hardware on the market, I just want to be able to do this as I see it as a skill that I would love to have. Eventually I would really like to be able to build something that I can run a version of android on, just to see how these systems work etc.

Thanks in advance.

Hi LDale and welcome!
What kind of ARM SoC did you work on? Microcontrollers (ARM Cortex-M) or more applications processors (Cortex-A, Cortex-R)
I believe the problem you're most likely to encounter with apps processors is the cost/difficulty to assemble the board. I mean routing and putting a 300+ BGA package on a PCB is not the easiest
