[ixp1200] IXP SA-1100 assembly ...

[Sprajc, Barry]

The latest ARM Architecture Reference Manual is an excellent publication for
the info you are looking for.  
FYI - By using this book, I've found all the info needed to write ARM
assembly, IRQ handlers, deal with the 
co-processor ( Enable Cache, etc... ) w/o any prior ARM system level exp.
You can order it from FatBrain.com

Subject: [ixp1200] IXP SA-1100 assembly ...



hi all,

i was wondering if anyone is using the reference for the IXP
with respect to the SA-1100 core?  specifically, i'm looking for
details of the assembly language (prog. ref. manual), registers,
etc.

i note that in the documentation that comes with the IXP CD (v1.2)
one can find the following:

	getting_started_armcore.pdf : basic registers available
	ixp1200_prog_ref_manual.pdf : full registers, but uE-specific
	ixp1200_hw_ref_manual.pdf   : difference between ARMv4 & IXP-SA

the hw ref manual states that the basis should be the 
	ARM Architecture Reference Manual
other documents state that the reference should be
	ARM V4 Architecture Reference
and i note that the ARM.com web site lists the former, which amazon.com
also sells...

any comments on if this text is sufficient?  other texts needed?

cheers,
