Learn to program the Raspberry Pi Pico’s dual ARM Cortex M0+ CPUs in Assembly Language. The Pico contains a customer System on a Chip (SoC) called the RP2040, making it the Foundation’s first entry into the low-cost microcontroller market. The RP2040 contains a wealth of coprocessors for performing arithmetic as well as performing specialized I/O functionality. This book will show you how these CPUs work from a low level, easy-to-learn perspective. There are eight new Programmable I/O (PIO) coprocessors that have their own specialized Assembly Language supporting a wide variety of interface protocols. You'll explore these protocols and write programs or functions in Assembly Language and interface to all the various bundled hardware interfaces. Then go beyond working on your own board and projects to contribute to the official RP2040 SDK. Finally, you'll take your DIY hardware projects to the next level of performance and functionality withmore advanced programming skills. What You'll LearnRead and understand the Assembly Language code that is part of the Pico’s SDKIntegrate Assembly Language and C code together into one programInterface to available options for DIY electronics and IoT projectsWho This Book Is ForMakers who have already worked with microcontrollers, such as the Arduino or Pico, programming in C or Python. Those interested in going deeper and learning how these devices work at a lower level, by learning Assembly Language.

Stephen Smith är pojken som aldrig fanns. I tretton år gömde Stephens föräldrar honom i källaren. Han föddes utanför äktenskapet i början av 1960-talet och föräldrarna valde att dölja honom för världen genom att låsa in honom. Den lilla pojkens värld begränsades till ett mörklagt rum med en enkel säng, en naken glödlampa i taket och ett bord. Han svalt och blev slagen. Steve ägnade dagarna åt fantasier om monster i låtsasvärldar, vilket hjälpte honom att förtränga den fysiska smärta och psykologiska tortyr hans brutale far utsatte honom för. Med undantag för några turer till sjukhuset blev Steve kvar i sitt källarfängelse i familjens hus där han berövades dagsljus, hela barndomen, skolgången och all mänsklig närhet - ända tills han blev tonåring. Till slut lyckades han rymma men blev i stället offer för två platser som båda är exempel på de värsta fallen av institutionell misshandel som avslöjats i England: Aston Hall och St William s Catholic School. Pojken i källaren är inte bara en grym sann historia om tortyr och utsatthet, utan som också berättar om hur kampen för överlevnad och lycka övervinner allt.

Fully revised, Tourism, 2nd edition covers aspects of tourism from a modern perspective, providing students with a range of theoretical and research-based explanations, supported by examples, case studies and unique insights from industry representatives. The many facets of tourism management are presented in a style that is as relevant for 1st year students as it is for postgraduates. The text offers introductory definitions and detailed discussions of contemporary issues that recognize current teaching practice around the world. Covering topics such as policy and planning, heritage management, leisure management, event management and hospitality management, the book tackles the practical elements of academic tourism such as infrastructure management and economic development, together with other important contemporary issues such as sustainable development and post-tourists. This new edition also features: Updated and new contemporary case studies, including countries such as Egypt, Croatia and The Philippines New material on tourism and sustainability including the SDGs Unions in the travel and tourism sectors Gender issues in travel and tourism Augmented reality and robots Prosumption and co-creation Contributions from professionals working in the tourism industry for a real-world perspective A fresh new layout and full colour text and figures that make it easy to locate information and aid learning Links to new video material throughout, which provide easy access to additional content for further study This will be an essential text for all students of travel and tourism at all levels of study.

Mastering ARM hardware architecture opens a world of programming for nearly all phones and tablets including the iPhone/iPad and most Android phones. It’s also the heart of many single board computers like the Raspberry Pi. Gain the skills required to dive into the fundamentals of the ARM hardware architecture with this book and start your own projects while you develop a working knowledge of assembly language for the ARM 64-bit processor. You'll review assembly language programming for the ARM Processor in 64-bit mode and write programs for a number of single board computers, including the Nvidia Jetson Nano and the Raspberry Pi (running 64-bit Linux). The book also discusses how to target assembly language programs for Apple iPhones and iPads along with 64-Bit ARM based Android phones and tablets. It covers all the tools you require, the basics of the ARM hardware architecture, all the groups of ARM 64-Bit Assembly instructions, and how data is stored in the computer’s memory. In addition, interface apps to hardware such as the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO ports. The book covers code optimization, as well as how to inter-operate with C and Python code. Readers will develop enough background to use the official ARM reference documentation for their own projects. With Programming with 64-Bit ARM Assembly Language as your guide you’ll study how to read, reverse engineer and hack machine code, then be able to apply these new skills to study code examples and take control of both your ARM devices’ hardware and software. What You'll LearnMake operating system calls from assembly language and include other software libraries in your projectsInterface apps to hardware devices such as the Raspberry Pi GPIO portsReverse engineer and hack codeUse the official ARM reference documentation for your own projectsWho This Book Is ForSoftware developers who have already learned to program in a higher-level language like Python, Java, C#, or even C and now wish to learn Assembly programming.
