The book presents laboratory experiments concerning ARM
microcontrollers, and discusses the architecture of the Tiva
Cortex-M4 ARM microcontrollers from Texas Instruments, describing
various ways of programming them. Given the meager peripherals and
sensors available on the kit, the authors describe the design of
Padma - a circuit board with a large set of peripherals and sensors
that connects to the Tiva Launchpad and exploits the Tiva
microcontroller family's on-chip features. ARM microcontrollers,
which are classified as 32-bit devices, are currently the most
popular of all microcontrollers. They cover a wide range of
applications that extend from traditional 8-bit devices to 32-bit
devices. Of the various ARM subfamilies, Cortex-M4 is a
middle-level microcontroller that lends itself well to data
acquisition and control as well as digital signal manipulation
applications. Given the prominence of ARM microcontrollers, it is
important that they should be incorporated in academic curriculums.
However, there is a lack of up-to-date teaching material -
textbooks and comprehensive laboratory manuals. In this book each
of the microcontroller's resources - digital input and output,
timers and counters, serial communication channels,
analog-to-digital conversion, interrupt structure and power
management features - are addressed in a set of more than 70
experiments to help teach a full semester course on these
microcontrollers. Beyond these physical interfacing exercises, it
describes an inexpensive BoB (break out board) that allows students
to learn how to design and build standalone projects, as well a
number of illustrative projects.
