Feb 28, 2014 · Arm Cortex-M processors offer versatile interrupt priority management but the multiple priority numbering conventions can lead to bugs. I explain the subject and cut through the confusion.

Abstract The ARM Cortex-M family now has eight processors. In this paper, we compare the features of various Cortex-M processors and highlight considerations for selecting the correct processor for your application. The paper includes detailed comparisons of the Cortex-M instruction sets and advanced interrupt capabilities, along with system-level features, debug …

The key feature of the Cortex-M4 and Cortex-M7 processors is the addition of DSP extensions to the Thumb instruction set, as defined in ARM’s architecture ARMv7-M and the optional floating-point unit (FPU).

Feb 26, 2018 · Hi, I'm using the STM32 F407 (Cortex M4), and I am also only using assembly in uVision IDE. So far I have managed to setup a ISR for a pushbutton generated interrupt via GPIO. This all works, I get the ISR handler hit, but after I perform my ISR function how do I return back to thread mode, and set the PC back to last point of execution ?

Feb 20, 2017 · Over the years Arm have published many documents, papers, blogs about Cortex-M processors. Many of them are really useful, but finding them could be harder than catching Pokémon! :-)

Mar 19, 2016 · Cortex-M0 is survived and widely adopted for the non-FPU/non-DSP application areas. It is other than Cortex-M0+. The reason is why Cortex-M0 can run at faster than 200MHz but Cortex-M0+ cannot. This comes from the same 3 stage pipeline structure as Cortex-M4. Cortex-M0+ of which the pipeline stages are 2 seems not to achieve 200MHz clock frequency.

1 Introduction Traditional multi-core designs focus on application processors running a full-feature OS such as Linux, iOS or Windows. Recent developments mean there are now more microcontrollers available on the market with multiple processors. For example, the NXP LPC4300 contains an ARM Cortex-M4 and a Cortex-M0 processor, and the Freescale Vybrid …

Jul 14, 2017 · For Cortex-M4, there is no internal cache and cache hint instructions are executed as NOPs (no operations). Therefore this is no such description in Cortex-M4 TRM. However, it does export cacheable attribute...

Dec 15, 2014 · The code was written for Cortex-M3 and will work on Cortex-M4. It will require minor modification for Cortex-M0, since I've used instructions that are only present in Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4. In addition, you will also learn how to define simple macros that takes parameters. And finally, you will learn how a Cortex-M microcontroller starts up.

Hello to all, I am working on ARM Cortex-M4. Since it has 32-bit address bus, therefore I assumed that each 32-bit instruction will be allocated a physical address location in the Flash. But while reading the disassembly of the code, I got to know that each instruction address needs 4 address location. Why is it so?
