So, since the first target is arm, some of us may need to learn a bit (yep, that’s me). So this is
|
||
a collection of helpful resources (links and specs) with sometimes very very brief summaries.
|
||
%p So why learn assembler, after all, it’s likely you spent your programmers life avoiding it:
|
||
%ul
|
||
%li Some things can not be expressed in ruby
|
||
%li To speed things up.
|
||
%li To add cpu specific capabilities
|

%h2#links Links

|

A very good

from the arm university
|

%p
|
||
= ext_link "Dave’s", "http://www.davespace.co.uk/arm/introduction-to-arm/why-learn.html"
|
||
site explains just about
|
||
everything about the arm in nice and easy to understand terms.

|
||
A nice series on thinkgeek, here is the integer
|
||
=ext_link "division section" , "http://thinkingeek.com/2013/08/11/arm-assembler-raspberry-pi-chapter-15/"
|
||
that has
|
||
=ext_link "code repository", "https://github.com/rofirrim/raspberry-pi-assembler/blob/master/chapter15/magic.py"
|
||
with code to generate code for constants.
|
||
%p
|
||
And off course there is the overwhelming arm infocenter,
|
||
= ext_link "here with it’s bizarre division" , "http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.dui0473c/CEGECDGD.html"

%p
|
||
The full 750 page specification for the pi , the
|

|
||
or
|
||
=ext_link "online" , "http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.dui0553a/BABFADHJ.html"

A nice list of

|

|
||
%h2 Virtual pi
|
||
%p
|
||
And since not everyone has access to an arm, here is a description how to set up an
|
||
= link_to "emulated pi" , "qemu.html"
|

%p
|

And how to

|

or any remote machine with ssl
