Dear All,
i have an urgent query. I have to write some drivers in linux for a ARM11
target.
Which book should i start off with :
ARM System Developers Guide - Andrew Sloss
or
ARM system-on-chip architecture - Steve Furber
I dont have time for both ... please suggest which one is the best
considering my requirement...
regards,
som

first you study the datasheet of which processor you used
next you gonna ARM System Developers Guide - Andrew Sloss
is my suggestion

Those 2 books will not give you much about Linux drivers, at least not
directly. Moreoever, unless your hardware is not supported by Linux currently,
you do not need to learn ARM specific details for Linux drivers.
I suggest checking if your ARM11 SOC is supported by any Linux tree out there
and then reading Linux device drivers at [1].

Hi,
You need "Linux device drivers" book instead of the books you have
mentioned.But sloss is the best book to start off on ARM.

When I read the original post, I felt the same way as Caglar points out :
Can it be assumed that you're proficient with Linux driver design ?
In case that's not so, I think the ARM is the least of your problems :-)
Do not underestimate the scope of Linux's subtleties when it comes to
proper driver
implementation, especially kernel wise.
A learner myself, I've found user space to be a bit less overwhelming :-)
Oh well, as usual, there's pros and cons either way...

I am really overwhelmed with the responses ... all i can say is a THANK U
all
..
Now most of my above mentioned doubts are resolved.. i have some more :)
We have an arm tool chain installed in the linux machine.
in the /usr/local/arm-xxxx-linux-gnueabi/cross/devel/bin folder
Now i am trying to assemble simple assembly file first.s
$arm-xxxx-linux-gnueabi-dev-as *first.s*
but i get a lot of errors !! i know the tool chain is fine as well as the
program as it is copied from a book ...
-------

Look at the error messages. Notice that every comment in your code has
generated an 'Error: bad instruction' message from the assembler. Your first
step should be to find out what the correct source code format is and how
you denote comments. Once the assembler ignores comments you need to check
the other errors. For example is "result" actually a valid op-code?
