Here are two I recommend: ARM Architecture Reference Manual (second edition) edited by David Seal ISBN 0-201-73719-1 ARM System-On-Chip Architecture (second edition) by Steve Furber ISBN 0-201-67519-6 The former is similar to the M68k programmer's reference (it's all about the instruction set). The latter is more of an overview/architectural evolution and functional explanation of the ARM family of chips, unique features, etc. with some interesting historical background. Together they should provide enough info to help anyone get started writing ARM native code.
