ARM System-on-Chip Architecture (2nd Ed.) by Steve Furber explains how ARM processor cores are used as the heart of modern system-on-chip designs, focusing on both architecture and practical implementation issues. It covers ARM and Thumb instruction sets, processor organization, memory systems, on-chip buses, interrupts, and debug support, with detailed examples from real commercial products. Written by one of ARM’s original architects, the book serves as a rigorous yet accessible reference for embedded and SoC designers working with ARM-based systems.
