PROGRAMMING”
 ALP used to build programs for particular function by using
different instruction sets.
 ALP is application oriented programmer’s model.
 In ALP compiler used to find tje bugs in program.
DIFFERENT INSTRUCTIONS IN ARM ALP:
 Arithmetic operations
 Bit-wise logical operations
 Register movement operation
 Comparison operations
 Immediate operands
 Shifted register operands
 Multiply instructions
 Data transfer instructions

PROGRAMMING”
ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS:
 These instructions perform binary arithmetic (addition, subtraction
and reverse subtraction, which is subtraction with the operand
order reversed) on two 32-bit operands.
 The operands may be unsigned or 2's-complement signed integers,
the carry-in, when used, is the current value of the C bit in the
CPSR.
 ADD r0,r1,r2 ; r0 = r1+r2
 ADC r0,r1,r2 ; r0 = r1+r2+CARRY
 SUB r0,r1,r2 ; r0 = r1- r2
 SUB r0,r1,r2 ; r0 = r1- r2 + CARRY-1
 RSB r0,r1,r2 ; r0 = r2- r1
 RSC r0,r1,r2 ; r0 = r2- r1+CARRY-1

PROGRAMMING”
BIT-WISE LOGICAL OPERATIONS
 These instructions perform the specified Boolean logic
operation on each bit pair of the input operands, so in the first
case r0[i]:= r1[i] AND r2[i] for each value of i from 0 to 31
inclusive, where r0[i] is the ith bit of r0.
 Simply this instructions are used to do all logical operations.
 AND r0,r1,r2 ; r0 = r1 and r2
 ORR r0,r1,r2 ; r0 = r1 or r2
 EOR r0,r1,r2 ; r0 = r1 xor r2
 BIC r0,r1,r2 ; r0 = r1 and not r2

PROGRAMMING”
REGISTER MOVEMENT OPERATIONS:
 These instructions ignore the first operand, which is omitted from the
assembly language format, and simply move the second operand
(possibly bit-wise inverted) to the destination.
 MOV r0,r2 ; r0:=r2 (content of r2 moved to r0)
 MVN r0,r2 ; r0:=not r2
COMPARISON OPERATIONS:
 These instructions do not produce a result (which is therefore
omitted from the assembly language format) but just set the
condition code bits (N, Z, C and V) in the CPSR according to the
selected operation
 CMP CMN r1,r2 ; set CC on r1-r2
 TST TEQ r1,r2 ; set CC on r1+r2
r1,r2 ; set CC on r1 and r2
r1,r2 ; set CC on r1 xor r2

PROGRAMMING”
IMMEDIATE OPERANDS:
 Data is directly given in instruction itself.
 If, instead of adding two registers, we simply wish to add a
constant to a register we can replace the second source operand
with an immediate value, which is a literal constant, preceded by
'#':
ADD r3,r3 #1 ;r3=1
AND r8, r7,#&ff ;r8=r7[7:0]
SHIFTED REGISTER OPERANDS:
 A way to specify a data operation is similar to the first, but allows
the second register operand to be subject to a shift operation
before it is combined with the first operand. For example:
ADD r3,r2,r1 , LSL #3; r3:=r2+8 x r1

PROGRAMMING”
MULTIPLY OPERATION:
There are some important differences from the other arithmetic
instructions:
 Immediate second operands are not supported.
 The result register must not be the same as the first source register.
 If the ' s' bit is set the V flag is preserved (as for a logical instruction)
and the C flag is rendered meaningless.
MUL r4,r3,r2 ; r4:=(r3xr2)
DATA TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS
 Data transfer instructions move data between ARM registers and
memory.
LDR r0, [r1] ;r0:= mem [r1].
STR r0,[r1] ;mem32[r1]:=r0.
LDR r0,[r1,#4] ;r0 = mem [r2]

PROGRAMMING”
CONCLUSION:
 In this above presentation we can learn about basic concept of
ARM Assembly language programming with different instruction
sets of ARM clearly.
