Hi guys
I am working on PIC microcontrollers from several years.Now want to move on ARM microcontrollers.
I studied on the internet and found that there are many companies which are developing ARM microcontrollers.
ARM has series like CORTEX-A,CORTEX-R,CORTEX-M,SECURECORE.
CORTEX-M can be used for general purpose microcontroller.
Also on the ARM there are two Software Development tools "ARM Development Studio 5" & "Keil MDK-ARM". Keil MDK-ARM has its different versions.

Kindly Guide me which series and microcontroller i choose for starting and which software tool i use for developing the program.
 

I think CORTEX M-3 based ARM is best option for the ARM beginners,
LPC1768 is one which supports CORTEX M-3 architecture,
you have plenty of examples on LPC1768.

 

STM32 Cortex M3 from STMicroelectronics + KEIL in demo version is a good start. Plus a cheap $10 discovery board. I learned that way.
DON'T try with Freescale. They don't even have decent CMSIS libraries for peripherals (not without forcing you to use their RTOS).

from where i can find the DISCOVERY BOARD and what it offers?
 

Guys tell me any book of ARM microcontroller using keil for beginners.
I have searched but find advanced level books.
 

I would suggest you STM32F4 Discovery board, bacause it's cheap and powerful.

Then, for first time use Coocox or EM Blocks as IDEs, Coocox uses GCC compiler.
 

Any simulator for ARM ??
 

yeah，you can learn the STM32 for your ARM switch,because it have more source such learning example,develoment board and soon。
but you can also select the NXP,it's similar with the ST.
 

hi
I think the STM32 is the best choice,It is very rich in resources, both libraries, examples, development board. Its price is very cheap, very suitable for use in the project.
Thanks
