Baremetal On ARM

The document discusses building bare metal systems using ARM architecture. It explains what bare metal systems are, the embedded software spectrum, and basic concepts like user mode, privileged mode, memory management and interrupts that need to be handled in bare metal systems. It then provides an overview of the ARM architecture including its RISC design, instruction set, register set and modes. Finally, it outlines examples of bare metal programs that can be built to demonstrate concepts from simple "Hello World" to basic operating systems.
