The shallow end of the pool is simple RISC CPUs e.g. Atmel 8-bit AVR. The complete instruction manual is something like 160 pages (compare to x86 at 3k+) and there are tons of beginner resources for doing assembler on those chips.

There's more structured material for MIPS than AVR. Plus the AVR has some funky memory maps and modes.

This all time classic from MIPS is a good starting point: "MIPS R4000 Microprocessor User's Manual" [1]
