Notation: ``Rt, Rn`` denote ARM registers R0-R7 except where stated. ``immN`` represents an immediate
|
|
value having a width of N bits hence ``imm5`` is constrained to the range 0-31. ``[Rn + immN]`` is the contents
|
|
of the memory address obtained by adding Rn and the offset ``immN``. Offsets are measured in
|
|
bytes. These instructions affect the condition flags.

Register Load
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
* ldr(Rt, [Rn, imm7]) ``Rt = [Rn + imm7]`` Load a 32 bit word
|
|
* ldrb(Rt, [Rn, imm5]) ``Rt = [Rn + imm5]`` Load a byte
|
|
* ldrh(Rt, [Rn, imm6]) ``Rt = [Rn + imm6]`` Load a 16 bit half word
|
|
|
|
Where a byte or half word is loaded, it is zero-extended to 32 bits.
|
|
|
|
The specified immediate offsets are measured in bytes. Hence in the case of ``ldr`` the 7 bit value
|
|
enables 32 bit word aligned values to be accessed with a maximum offset of 31 words. In the case of ``ldrh`` the
|
|
6 bit value enables 16 bit half-word aligned values to be accessed with a maximum offset of 31 half-words.
