What is the best starting point to go through ARM ?

[afesheir]

dear everybody ..
I am new (really new) to ARM .. I have good knowledge in C, is it important - or is it an advantage - to be excellent in C++ as well ??
what are the most common programming languages for ARM other than C/C++
?
Also what is the best starting point to go through ARM ? (Suggest book, forum, website tutorial, ...etc)
Thanks & Regards

Re: New to arm

C/C++ dominate around 75 of embedded market
Java around 20% and Ada the rest
To start arm there are some good reference like ARM Reference Manual

New to arm

to start with ARM, knowing C language will do most of ur work initially, later on u can shift to C++.

Go through ARM manual as stated above...

Good luck

Re: New to arm

You can also program using Flowcode:

BiPOM Electronics - Flowcode V4 for ARM

It is a graphical language so much faster to program than C/C++. It is limited to ATMEL AT91SAM7 series ARM, though.

is the below flasher for arm , enough to get started with ?

**broken link removed**

it's cheap and based on USB i am considering this

can it be used for all ARM chips in 2000 series ?

 

[alexan_e]

LPC2xxx are programmed through the UART using the bootloader they have, if you want to use a USB to UASRT adapter like the one you describe then it is fine too.

 

[Rohith_elec]

so can i use a normal usb to uart adapter using FT232 can be used instead of this product ?

 

[alexan_e]

Yest it can but you have to set the pin that enables the boot loader , this board is supposed to be using a reset and DTR signal to do this automatically but the majority of dev boards have a jumper so you set it to the programming position (enabling the bootloadeer).

 

[Rohith_elec]

if in case the dev board has no jumper for bootloader , can we add a pushbutton to solve ?


is the bootloader comes with the board , pre burnt on the chip ?

 

[alexan_e]

The bootloaded is in the chip, this is how it comes from the factory.
Yes you can set the pin with a button or an external device , it's no problem.
You need to set the pin to enable the bootloader and then reset the mcu in order for the boot loader to start
This is an example of a dev board with LPC2103, in this case the bootloader starts when P0.14 is LOW
