Introduction
Last week, we talked about using a new Apple M1 based Macintosh as a development workstation and how installing Apple’s development system XCode also installed a large number of open source development tools including LLVM and make. This week, we’ll cover how to compile and run a simple command line ARM Assembly Language Hello World program.

My book “Programming with 64-Bit ARM Assembly Language” contains lots of sample self contained Assembly Language programs and a number of iOS and Android samples. The command line utilities are compiled for Linux using the GNU tool set. Alex vonBelow took all of these and modified them to work with the LLVM tool chain and to work within Apple’s development environment. He dealt with all the differences between Linux and MacOS/iOS as well. His version of the source code for my book, but modified for Apple M1 is available here:
