4 The ARM7TDMI processor has two operating states: –ARM state which executes 32-bit, word aligned ARM instructions –THUMB state which can execute 16-bit, halfword aligned THUMB instructions Switching state –Entering THUMB state BX instruction with the state bit (bit 0) set in the operand register. Automatically on return from an exception (IRQ, FIQ, ABORT, SWI,…), if the exception was entered with the processor in THUMB state. –Entering ARM state BX instruction with the state bit clear in the operand register. Automatically on the processor taking an exception. In this case, the PC is placed in the exception mode’s link register. ARM7TDMI Operating States

5 The ARM7TDMI supports seven modes of operation: –User (usr): The normal ARM program execution state –FIQ (fiq): Designed to support a data transfer or channel process –IRQ (irq): Used for general-purpose interrupt handling –Supervisor (svc): Protected mode for the operating system –Abort mode (abt): Entered after a data or instruction prefetch abort –System (sys): A privileged user mode for the operating system –Undefined (und): Entered when an undefined instruction is executed Mode changes may be made under software control, or may be brought about by external interrupts or exception processing. –Most application programs will execute in User mode. The non-user modes' known as privileged modes-are entered in order to service interrupts or exceptions, or to access protected resources. ARM7TDMI Operating Modes

6 ARM7TDMI Registers The ARM7TDMI has a total of 37 registers: –31 general-purpose 32-bit registers –6 status registers These registers cannot all be seen at once. The processor state and operating mode dictate which registers are available to the programmer.

7 ARM State Registers Set

8 THUMB State Registers Set

9 Relationship between ARM and THUMB state registers The THUMB state registers relate to the ARM state registers in the following way:

10 The ARM7TDMI contains a Current Program Status Register (CPSR), plus five Saved Program Status Registers (SPSRs) for use by exception handlers. These register's functions are: –Hold information about the most recently performed ALU operation –Control the enabling and disabling of interrupts –Set the processor operating mode Program Status Registers (1/3)

11 Condition Code Flags –The N, Z, C and V bits may be changed as a result of arithmetic and logical operations, and may be tested to determine whether an instruction should be executed In ARM state, all instructions may be executed conditionally. In THUMB state, only the Branch instruction is capable of conditional execution. Control Bits –The I, F, T and M[4:0]) bits will be changed when an exception arises. If the processor is operating in a privileged mode, they can also be manipulated by software. –T bit: This reflects the operating state. When this bit is set, the processor is executing in THUMB state, otherwise it is executing in ARM state. This is reflected on the TBIT external signal. Note that the software must never change the state of the TBIT in the CPSR. If this happens, the processor will enter an unpredictable state. Program Status Registers (2/3)

12 Control Bits –Interrupt disable bits: The I and F bits are the interrupt disable bits. When set, these disable the IRQ and FIQ interrupts respectively. –Mode bits: The M4, M3, M2, M1 and M0 bits (M[4:0]) are the mode bits. These determine the processor's operating mode. Not all combinations of the mode bits define a valid processor mode. Only those explicitly described shall be used. The user should be aware that if any illegal value is programmed into the mode bits, M[4:0], then the processor will enter an unrecoverable state. If this occurs, reset should be applied. Program Status Registers (3/3)

13 Exceptions arise whenever the normal flow of a program has to be halted temporarily –For example to service an interrupt from a peripheral. ARM supports 7 types of exception and has a privileged processor mode for each type of exception. ARM Exception vectors Exceptions (1/6)

14 When handling an exception, the ARM7TDMI: –Preserves the address of the next instruction in the appropriate Link Register –Copies the CPSR into the appropriate SPSR –Forces the CPSR mode bits to a value which depends on the exception –Forces the PC to fetch the next instruction from the relevant exception vector –It may also set the interrupt disable flags to prevent otherwise unmanageable nestings of exceptions. –If the processor is in THUMB state when an exception occurs, it will automatically switch into ARM state when the PC is loaded with the exception vector address. Exceptions (2/6)

15 On completion, the exception handler: –Moves the Link Register, minus an offset where appropriate, to the PC. (The offset will vary depending on the type of exception.) –Copies the SPSR back to the CPSR –Clears the interrupt disable flags, if they were set on entry Exceptions (3/6)

ARM Instruction Set

20 Summary

21 All ARM instructions can be conditionally executed, which means that their execution may or may not take place depending on the values of values of the N, C, C and V flags in the CPSR Every instruction contains a 4-bit condition code field in bits 31 to 28 Condition Field (1/2)

22 Condition Field (2/2) There are fifteen different conditions, each represented by a two-character suffix that can be appended to the instruction's mnemonic. –A Branch (B in assembly) becomes BEQ for "Branch if Equal", which means the Branch will only be taken if the Z flag is set.

23 All ARM Processors support a branch instruction that allows a conditional branch forwards or backwards up to 32Mbytes. –As the Program Counter (PC) is one of the general-purpose registers (register 15), a branch or jump can also be generated by writing a value to register 15. A subroutine call is a variant of the standard branch, the Branch with Link instruction preserves the address of the instruction after the branch (the return address) in register 14 (link register or LR). A load instruction provides a way to branch anywhere in the 4Gbyte address space. A 32-bit value is loaded directly from memory into the PC, causing a branch. The ARM7TDMI processor that support the Thumb instruction set also support a branch instruction (BX) that jumps to a given address, and optionally switches executing Thumb instructions. Branch Instructions (1/2)

24 List of branch instructions B, BL Branch, and branch with link BX Branch and exchange instruction set Examples Blabel; branch unconditionally to label BCClabel; branch to label if carry flag is clear BEQlabel ; branch to label if zero flag is set MOVPC, #0 ; R15 = 0, branch to location zero BLfunc; subroutine call to function funcMOVPC, LR; R15=R14, return to instruction after the BL MOVLR, PC; store the address of the instruction after the next one into R14 LDRPC, =func; load a 32-bit value into the program counter Branch Instructions (2/2)

25 ARM has 16 data processing instructions. Most data processing instructions take two source operands (Move and Move Not have only one operand) and store a result in a register (except for the Compare and Test instructions which only update the condition codes) –Of the two source operands, one is always a register, the other is called a shifter operand, and is either an immediate value or a register. If the second operand is a register value, it may have a shift applied to it before it is used as the operand to the ALU Data Processing (1/2)

26 List of data processing instructions Data Processing (2/2)

27 Multiply Instructions (1/2) ARM has two classes of multiply instruction –normal, 32-bit result –long, 64-bit result All multiply instructions take two register operands as the input to the multiplier –ARM does not directly support a multiply by constant instruction due to the efficiency of shift and add, or shift and reverse subtract instructions –There are two multiply instructions that produce 32-bit results –MUL, multiplies the values of two registers together, truncates the result to 32 bits, and stores the result in a third register. –MLA, multiplies the values of two registers together, adds the value of a third register, truncates the result to 32 bits, and stores the result into a fourth register (multiply and accumulate) MULR4, R2, R1; Set R4 to value of R2 multiplied by R1 MULSR4, R2, R1; R4 = R2xR1, set N and Z flags MLA R7, R8, R9, R3; R7 = R8xR9 + R3

28 Multiply Instructions (2/2) There are four multiply instructions that produce 64-bit results (long multiply) –Two of the variants multiply the values of two registers together and store the 64-bit result in a third and fourth register. There are a signed (SMULL) and unsigned (UMULL) variants. –The remaining two variants multiply the values of two registers together, add the 64-bit value from a third and fourth register and store the 64-bit result back into those registers (third and fourth). There are also signed (SMLAL) and unsigned (UMLAL) variants. These instructions perform a long multiply and accumulate SMULLR4, R8, R2, R3; R4 = bits 0 to 31 of R2xR3 ; R8 = bits 32 to 63 of R2 x R3 UMULLR6, R8, R0, R1; R6, R8 = R0 x R1 UMLALR5, R8, R0, R1; R5, R8 = R0 x R1 + R5, R8

29 Load and Store Instructions (1/2) Load and store instruction come in three types: –load or store the value of a single register –load and store multiple register values –swap a register value with the value of a memory location Load and store single register –Load register instructions can load a 32-bit word, a 16-bit halfword or an 8-bit byte from memory into a register. –Store register instructions can store a 32-bit word, a 16-bit halfword or an 8-bit byte from a register to memory. –List of load and store single register: LDR/STR, Load/Store word LDRB/STRB, Load/Store byte LDRH/STRH, Load/Store unsigned halfword LDRSB, Load signed byte LDRSH, Load signed halfword

30 Load and Store Instructions (2/2) Load and Store multiple registers –Load and Store multiple instructions perform a block transfer of any number of the general purpose registers to or from memory –Four addressing modes are provided: pre-increment post-increment pre-decrement post-decrement –List of load and store multiple instructions LDM, Load multiple STM, Store multiple Swap a register value with the value of a memory location –Swap can load a value from a register-specified memory location, store the contents of a register to the same memory location, then write the loaded value to a register. –List of semaphore instructions SWP, Swap SWPB, Swap Byte

31 The Software Interrupt instruction enters supervisor mode in a controlled manner: –The instruction causes the software interrupt trap to be taken, which effects the mode change –If the SWI vector address is suitably protected (by external memory management hardware) from modification by the user, a fully protected operating system may be constructed. The bottom 24 bits of the instruction are ignored by the processor, and may be used to communicate information to the supervisor code. SWI : Software Interrupt

THUMB Instruction Set

33 Summary

34 The Thumb instruction set is a subset of the ARM instruction set, optimized for code density. Almost every Thumb instructions have an ARM instructions equivalent: –ADD Rd, #Offset8 <> ADDS Rd, Rd, #Offset8 Inline expansion of Thumb Instruction to ARM Instruction –Real time decompression –Thumb instructions are not actually executed on the core The core needs to know whether it is reading Thumb instructions or ARM instructions. –Core has two execution states - ARM and Thumb –Core does not have a mixed 16 and 32 bit instruction set. How Does Thumb Work ?
