Figure 2-3 Register organization
Note
For 16-bit Thumb instructions, the high registers, R8–R15, are not part of the standard register
set. You can use special variants of the
MOV
instruction to transfer a value from a low register, in
the range R0–R7, to a high register, and from a high register to a low register. The
CMP
instruction
enables you to compare high register values with low register values. The
ADD
instruction
enables you to add high register values to low register values. For more information, see the
ARM Architecture Reference Manual.
