Question: is this a good hardware/text book match? I'm having trouble putting together an introductory ARM class using i.MX35 and the ARM Assembly language book (Amazon.com: ARM Assembly Language Programming & Architecture (ARM books Book 1) eBook: Muhammad Ali ...

The M-Series of devices by Freescale is dubbed Kinetis. Kinetis Low Power 32-bit ARM Cortex-M MCUs|Freescale
For educational purposes the Freedom boards are cheap and very well supported. I personally recommend the FRDM-KL25Z [$13] (Cortex- M0+) or FRDM-K64F [$35] (M4).
Perhaps prof1982 is watching this thread and can comment. I think it might be based on ARM M-series though.
Here is a list of textbooks that ARM maintains: ARM Related Books - ARM I have heard good things about William Hohls ARM assembly books.
Thanks for your insight. I have an iMX35 system on my desk right now - it might be overkill for an introductory course (I'm just learning ARM myself after teaching x86 hardware and assembly programming using Mazidi's "The X86 PC"). I was hoping to pick off some I/O pins but don't see many. Perhaps another (cheaper) ARM system would be better for the students?? What is the significance of your "Mazidi=just ARM M-series" comment?

Excellent - i've ordered the FRDM-KL46Z (no 25Z's to be had anywhere). I think the students (and I) will get a kick out of the touch slider. Thanks, John M., for the help.
