See How the Magic Happens Built with ARM A64 Assembly Language The ARM edition of
Introduction to Computer Organization will show you how high-level code connects to computer
hardware through ARM 64-bit assembly language. You’ll learn ARM assembly language from the
ground up and all you’ll need is some basic experience with programming. As you grow to
understand ARM’s 64-bit design (from first principles) you’ll develop the skills to write more
efficient optimized code. Learn the fundamentals: Data storage formats and computer encoding
Binary and hexadecimal arithmetic operations Boolean algebra and logic gates Digital circuit
design Explore how software and hardware interact: Memory hierarchy from CPU registers to
the cloud CPU architecture and instruction execution ARM 64-bit assembly language programming
Get hands-on experience programming the GPIO on Raspberry Pi 3 4 and 5 in assembly. Use GNU
programming tools to examine code generated from C and C++ by the compiler write assembly
programs from scratch and use the debugger to visualize execution inspect registers and
understand machine-level operations. Each chapter includes practical “Your Turn” exercises to
reinforce key concepts and build real-world programming skills. Whether you’re optimizing code
performance developing embedded systems or simply curious about how computers execute your
programs this guide provides deep insight into how software and hardware interact to bring
programs to life.
