Advanced Architecture Features
Introduction
In the last few chapters, we have covered most of what you need to know to develop a Cortex-M-based microcontroller. In the remaining chapters in this book, we will look at some of the more advanced features of the Cortex-M processors. In this chapter, we will look at the different operating modes built into each of the Cortex-M processors and some additional instructions that are designed to support the use of an RTOS. We will also have a look at the optional MPU, which can be fitted to the Cortex-M3, Cortex-M4, and Cortex-M0+, and how this can partition the memory map. This provides controlled access to different regions of memory depending on the running processor mode. To round the chapter ...
