RP2040 Assembly Language Programming

This guide teaches readers to program the Raspberry Pi Pico's RP2040 using Assembly Language, enhancing their skills in microcontroller projects.

In RP2040 Assembly Language Programming, readers will dive deep into the world of programming the Raspberry Pi Pico's dual ARM Cortex M0+ CPUs using Assembly Language. The Pico is powered by the RP2040, a custom System on a Chip (SoC) that marks a significant entry into the low-cost microcontroller market. This book offers a comprehensive approach to understanding the architecture and functionality of the RP2040, emphasizing its coprocessors that enhance arithmetic operations and specialized I/O capabilities.

The text introduces eight new Programmable I/O (PIO) coprocessors, each equipped with its own specialized Assembly Language. Readers will have the opportunity to explore various interface protocols, writing programs and functions in Assembly Language while interfacing with the diverse hardware options available. The book not only guides users through creating their own projects but also encourages contributing to the official RP2040 SDK, fostering a sense of community and collaboration.

By the end of RP2040 Assembly Language Programming, readers will have developed a solid foundation in Assembly Language, learning to read and understand code within the Pico's SDK. They'll also master the integration of Assembly Language with C code, enabling them to tackle DIY electronics and IoT projects with confidence. This book is perfect for makers who have experience with microcontrollers and wish to deepen their understanding of how these devices operate at a fundamental level.
