The book "ARM 64-Bit Assembly Language" by Larry Pyeatt (ISBN-13 : 978-0128192214) seems to be a useful book. Unlike almost all other books on assembler programming, it doesn't waste dozens of pages on introducing hexadecimal and binary number systems etc. The book also has some examples specific for Raspberry Pi (model 3 and the later BCM2837-based model 2, these should also work for model 4) under Linux and running bare metal. A short comparison of instruction sets was done by the RISC V guys [1], this is quite concise and IMHO relatively neutral. I'm currently working on converting my compilers course here at NTNU to target Aarch64 instead of x86-64, but this will take a bit of time until it's finished. My students have to write a small toy compiler (yacc/lex-based) for a procedural language as practical exercises. However, for practical (and cost) reasons, we will mostly target Linux on Aarch64/Raspberry Pi. Though I certainly won't keep my students from writing a Mach-O generating backend :).
