S3C2410A THUMB INSTRUCTION SET
4-19
OPERATION
These instructions transfer byte or word values between registers and memory. Memory addresses are pre-indexed
using an offset register in the range 0-7. The THUMB assembler syntax is shown in Table 4-8.
Table 4-8. Summary of Format 7 Instructions
L B THUMB assembler ARM equivalent Action
0 0 STR Rd, [Rb, Ro] STR Rd, [Rb, Ro] Pre-indexed word store:
Calculate the target address by adding
together the value in Rb and the value in
Ro. Store the contents of Rd at the
address.
0 1 STRB Rd, [Rb, Ro] STRB Rd, [Rb, Ro] Pre-indexed byte store:
Calculate the target address by adding
together the value in Rb and the value in
Ro. Store the byte value in Rd at the
resulting address.
1 0 LDR Rd, [Rb, Ro] LDR Rd, [Rb, Ro] Pre-indexed word load:
Calculate the source address by adding
together the value in Rb and the value in
Ro. Load the contents of the address into
Rd.
1 1
LDRB Rd, [Rb, Ro] LDRB Rd, [Rb, Ro] Pre-indexed byte load:
Calculate the source address by adding
together the value in Rb and the value in
Ro. Load the byte value at the resulting
address.
INSTRUCTION CYCLE TIMES
All instructions in this format have an equivalent ARM instruction as shown in Table 4-8. The instruction cycle times
for the THUMB instruction are identical to that of the equivalent ARM instruction.
EXAMPLES
STR R3, [R2,R6] ; Store word in R3 at the address
; formed by adding R6 to R2.
LDRB R2, [R0,R7] ; Load into R2 the byte found at
; the address formed by adding R7 to R0.
