Inline assembler for Thumb2 architectures
|
|
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This document assumes some familiarity with assembly language programming and should be read after studying
|
|
|
|
the :ref:`tutorial <pyboard_tutorial_assembler>`. For a detailed description of the instruction set consult the
|
|
|
|
Architecture Reference Manual detailed below.
|
|
|
|
The inline assembler supports a subset of the ARM Thumb-2 instruction set described here. The syntax tries
|
|
|
|
to be as close as possible to that defined in the above ARM manual, converted to Python function calls.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Instructions operate on 32 bit signed integer data except where stated otherwise. Most supported instructions
|
|
|
|
operate on registers ``R0-R7`` only: where ``R8-R15`` are supported this is stated. Registers ``R8-R12`` must be
|
|
|
|
restored to their initial value before return from a function. Registers ``R13-R15`` constitute the Link Register,
|
|
|
|
Stack Pointer and Program Counter respectively.

Document conventions
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Where possible the behaviour of each instruction is described in Python, for example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* add(Rd, Rn, Rm) ``Rd = Rn + Rm``
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This enables the effect of instructions to be demonstrated in Python. In certain case this is impossible
|
|
|
|
because Python doesn't support concepts such as indirection. The pseudocode employed in such cases is
|
|
|
|
described on the relevant page.
