The all-new introduction to ARM assembly language programming by Randall Hyde!

Available from No Starch Press
https://nostarch.com

The Art of ARM Assembly Language (AoAA) is a modern update to Randall Hyde’s classic “The Art of Assembly Language” (https://nostarch.com/assembly2.htm) specifically for the ARM CPU. This all-new text features the 64-bit ARM architecture and teaches assembly language programming using the Gas or clang assembler under macOS, Linux, and Pi OS. Topics include basic assembly language programming and machin organization, integer arithmetic, floating-point arithmetic, SIMD (Neon) programming, strings, and bit manipulation. An extremely comprehensive book for those wishing to learn ARM assembly language programming.

Volume 2!

The Art of ARM Assembly Language is actually going to be part of a two volume set. It will cover 32-bit ARM assembly language programming on 32-bit versions of Pi OS and on embedded ARM Cortex-M CPUs (such as Arduino/Teensy and Raspberry Pi Pico). Look forward to it sometime in late 2026.
