2.9 Acceleration of execution environments
Because the ARMv7-R architecture requires Jazelle
®
software compatibility, three Jazelle
registers are implemented in the processor.
Table 2-7 shows the Jazelle register instruction summary and the response to the instructions.
Note
Because no hardware acceleration is present in the processor, when the
BXJ
instruction is used,
the
BX
instruction is invoked.
