''ARM System-on-Chip Architecture'' is a book detailing the
system on a chip ARM architecture, as a specific implementation of
reduced instruction set computing
In computer engineering, a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) is a computer designed to simplify the individual instructions given to the computer to accomplish tasks. Compared to the instructions given to a complex instruction set compu ...

The book's content covers the architecture,
assembly language programming, support mechanisms for
high-level programming language
In computer science, a high-level programming language is a programming language with strong abstraction from the details of the computer. In contrast to low-level programming languages, it may use natural language ''elements'', be easier to us ...
s, the
instruction set and the building of
operating system
An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware, software resources, and provides common services for computer programs.
Time-sharing operating systems schedule tasks for efficient use of the system and may also i ...

Thumb instruction set is also covered in detail.
It has been cited in numerous academic papers,
and has been recommended to those working in the development of
embedded system
An embedded system is a computer system—a combination of a computer processor, computer memory, and input/output peripheral devices—that has a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electronic system. It is ''embedded'' ...
