I've done some research and it seems HLA is well liked. Do you guys have any other suggestions? I'm looking to learn assembly mainly for the x86, mmix, arm, and z80 architectures.

I picked up ARM assembly by reading this document:

ARM assembly is the best, you'll see. :)

Do you know of an arm emulator I can code on? I don't yet have an arm device I can use to test this stuff.

I know a MIPS emulator: SPIM (it's on the repository)

Links to info for some of those architectures are listed here:

Also, be sure to grab the manufacture documentation:

I've looked at that before. It was some interesting info but I didn't feel it went into the detail I needed to learn how to code in assembly.

I'll look at the other links later tonight or tomorrow. Thanks.
