ARM Programming Examples

The document outlines ARM assembly instructions for various embedded system tasks, including comparing sensor values, controlling a window, and monitoring a safety system with LED indicators. It describes the operations performed on sensor readings stored in specific memory addresses, as well as the use of the CPSR for branching based on comparisons. Additionally, it includes practice problems for calculating factorials, summing array elements, and finding the largest element in an array.

An ARM-based embedded system monitors four pressure sensor readings

stored at memory locations 0x20000100, 0x20000104, 0x20000108, and


0x2000010C.
The system must perform the following operations:
[Link] the first and second sensor values and store the smaller value at
memory address 0x20000110.
[Link] the third and fourth sensor values and store the larger value at
memory address 0x20000114.
[Link] the two stored results (0x20000110 and 0x20000114).
[Link] the final sum at memory address 0x20000118.

A simple window control system uses an ARM processor; write ARM assembly
instructions to open the window and indicate the status register contents for both
successful and failed operations.
MOV R0, #1 ; Load 1 (OPEN command)
MOV R1, #0 ; Clear status register value

CMP R0, #1 ; Check if command is OPEN


BEQ OPEN_WINDOW ; If equal, branch to open

B FAIL ; Otherwise, go to fail

OPEN_WINDOW
MOV R1, #1 ; Set success flag
B END

FAIL
MOV R1, #0 ; Set failure flag

END
A smart safety system uses an ARM processor to monitor a sensor value stored in register
R5. If the value equals 0x1000, a LED should glow and if it’s 0x0000 then LED should be
OFF. Write ARM assembly instructions to perform the comparison and branch to a LED
label if matched, and briefly explain how the CPSR supports this operation . Also find
content of CPSR (i.e. cpsr flag bits)

LDR R0, =0x1000 ; Load threshold value


CMP R5, R0 ; Compare sensor value (R1) with 0x1000
BEQ LED ; Branch if equal (Z flag = 1)

B END ; Otherwise continue normal flow

LED
; LED ON
MOV R2, #1 ; Example: set LED flag

END
Programs for Practice

For the following ARM program . Assume that register R5 contains memory address 4000.
Determine the final value stored at memory location 4000. Also determine the content of status register
(CPSR) (i.e. value of sign, zero, carry and overflow flag bits of cpsr)

MOV R0, #3
MOV R1, #10
MOV R2, #2

START: SUB R1, R1, R2


ADD R0, R0, #1
CMP R1, #4
BGT START

STR R0, [R5]
