Call to ARM(s)
ToDay, we will collect all of the tools we'll need to ARM ourselves for the rest of the lecture series. We will gather programmers/debuggers, install software tools and test the operation of the hardware that we will be discussing this week.

ARM Peripherals 101
Now that we know how to control the ARM I/O subsystem, we can add to that functionality by taking control of the ARM on-chip peripherals. ToDay's lecture will concentrate on enabling ARM-based UARTS, SPI and USB portals.
