There are two main ways of assembling ARM programs - using the assembler built-in to BBC BASIC, or using a dedicated assembler.
#TYPEOF MACRO IN IAR ARM HOW TO#
At this stage, we don't explain how to create programs, assemble and run them. The mnemonics and operand formats for all of the ARM's instructions are described in detail in the sections below.

Certain 'optional extras' may be added to slightly alter the affect of the instruction, leading to mnemonics such as ADCNES and SWINE. Most ARM mnemonics consist of three letters, e.g. Thus the complete add instruction, in assembler format, would be: If the left and right hand side of the addition are R1 and R2 respectively, and the result is to go in R0, the operand part would be written R0,R1,R2. This alone doesn't tell the assembler which registers to add and where to put the result. Usually, mnemonics are followed by one or more operands which are used to completely describe the instruction.Īn example mnemonic is ADD, for 'add two registers'.

We saw at the end of Chapter One a few typical ARM mnemonics. Here is a typical one:įortunately, we don't have to write ARM programs using such codes. We now know what the ARM provides by way of memory and registers, and the sort of instructions to manipulate them.This chapter describes those instructions in great detail.Īs explained in the previous chapter, all ARM instructions are 32 bits long.
