This is my own channel, but I made a 10+ part series on modern ARM assembly you may find interesting. I used CPUlator for the demonstrations, which is a nice way to inspect the memory as well as the individual registers as you are running a program.

All runs in the browser:

Thanks for your work on this. I’ve bookmarked several of these videos and used them as reference.

Learning assembly with a really good visualizer or debugger in hand is highly underrated; just watching numbers move around as you run your code is more fun than it has any right to be.

I really like Justine Tunney’s blinkenlights program. (https://justine.lol/blinkenlights/)

A version of that for AArch64 / RISC-V would be really cool.
