ARM INSTRUCTION SET S3C2410A
3-28
SINGLE DATA TRANSFER (LDR, STR)
The instruction is only executed if the condition is true. The various conditions are defined in Table 3-2. The
instruction encoding is shown in Figure 3-14.
The single data transfer instructions are used to load or store single bytes or words of data. The memory address
used in the transfer is calculated by adding an offset to or subtracting an offset from a base register.
The result of this calculation may be written back into the base register if auto-indexing is required.
