Hello,

I've heard a lot about Cortex-M3 recently.

What is the difference between Cortex-M3 and ARM7/9 Thumb and ARM instruction Sets?

Thanks 🙂

Hi,

The STM32 family benefits from the Cortex-M3’s many new architectural enhancements including the Thumb-2 instruction set to deliver improved performance combined with better code density, and a tightly-coupled Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller for significantly faster response to interrupts.

Thumb-2 instruction set provides 32bit performance with 16bit code density,

gives complete Thumb Compatibility and is a Single POWERFULL instruction set with No more switching between ARM/Thumb modes.

The most important difference between the Thumb ISA and the ARM ISA is that most 32-bit Thumb instructions are unconditional, whereas almost all ARM instructions can be conditional. However, Thumb-2 introduces a new If-Then (IT) instruction that delivers much of the functionality of the condition field in ARM instructions.

In addition to the new 32-bit Thumb instructions, there are several new 16-bit Thumb instructions. Several new 32-bit ARM instructions are introduced at the same time.

For more details you can refer to :

With best regards,

Is there a single PDF somewhere, which describes

all Thumb2 instructions of the Cortex-M3 in detail?

Even on the ARM website I had no luck, just white

papers which describe some aspects, but not a concentrated

instruction set of the Cortex.

Hi hild,

You can find a detailed description about the THUMB2 instruction set in the document ''ARM v7-M Architecture Application Level Reference Manual (beta release)'' available in the following link:

http://www.arm.com/documentation/Instruction_Set/index.html

Note: you will be asked to do a registration to download the document.

With best regards

hi again,

thank you for the link. the pdf was very helpful.

next question: where and when will the eval-boards

be available? I was checking out all German distributors,

but they don't even have a clue or awareness of STM3210B-EVAL.

do you have any information on

- pricing

- availability

how does the STM3210B-EVAL differ from STM3210B-MCKIT and

STM3210B-PRIMER ?

thanks again!

hild.

Hi hild,

To order the STM3210B-EVAL board, please contact your local ST distributor.

With best regards
