Are you talking about small embedded systems, such as Cortex-M devices,
or are you talking about ARM processors, typically Linux or Android systems?

If you are talking Cortex-M, find yourself a nice demo or evaluation
board with the selection of hardware you want (sensors, networking,
display, etc.).  Find one with built-in debugger hardware - you will
certainly find such tools directly from microcontroller vendors.  Get
the development tools from the microcontroller vendor's website (they
pretty much all have free tools based on gcc and Eclipse, for Windows
and Linux).  NXP's Kinetis "Freedom" boards are a fine choice, but also
look at TI.

Then get yourself a proper newsreader and a proper Usenet account, quite
Google Groups without looking back, and follow comp.arch.embedded for
more help.  comp.programming is mostly dead, once you have killfilled
Ramine.


If you are talking ARM processors, you basically mean Linux development
for ARM targets.  Get a Raspberry Pi 3 (not an earlier one - they are
too slow for native development) and use it directly.  You /can/ do
cross-target development from an x86 PC, but it is a bit more effort
(especially if you are stuck on Windows).  This is then straightforward
C programming for Linux - you don't need to worry about CPU registers or
memory addresses as such.
