Summary: Key ARM reference
Rating: 5
This is an architectural reference; it covers the instruction set, exceptions, etc. For that purpose, this is the best book I believe.This is not the technical reference manual; it will not cover the ICE, instruction timings of a given implementation (say, the ARM7TDMI), coprocessors that might be present, etc. For that, the TRM for a part is best; the TRM will in turn not cover architectural issues, such as the instruction set.It also is a bit dated, not covering the newer Cortex chips (i.e. Thumb2).
