Here is a sample program (from "The Art of ARM Assembly, Volume 2") that converts a 64-bit double-precision floating-point value to a string. This code was created and tested on a Pi 400 using a 32-bit version of PiOS. It easily ports to Cortex-M7F CPUs (e.g., the Teensy 4.x) and other 32-bit based ...

Recently I've been working on sample programs for "The Art of ARM Assembly, Volume 2." When working on the numeric conversion examples, I chose not to simply copy the algorithms I used in "The Art of 64-bit Assembly" and "The Art of ARM Assembly, Volume 1." Instead, I experimented with some new ...

WGC4 will cover generic design stuff (both old-school and OOPs).

I have recently (2/29/2024) been working on code for a book I'm working on (Art of ARM Assembly, Volume 2). One of the chapters deals with numeric-string-to-integer conversion. I'd banged out the usual "fetch a char, test it to see if it's a digit, multiply an accumulator by ten, and add in the ...

Nothing spells spambot to me like seeing a login name of the form "r.a.n.d.a.l.l.h.y.d.e@somesite.com". I immediately delete such registration requests. If you have a real login name of this form, be sure to create a login name that eliminates most (if not all) of the periods, e.g., "randall.hyde ...
