ARM DDI 0029G
Memory access
During normal operation, while one instruction is being executed, its successor is being
decoded, and a third instruction is being fetched from memory.
The program counter points to the instruction being fetched rather than to the instruction
being executed. This is important because it means that the Program Counter (PC)
value used in an executing instruction is always two instructions ahead of the address.
The ARM7TDMI core has a Von Neumann architecture, with a single 32-bit data bus
carrying both instructions and data. Only load, store, and swap instructions can access
data from memory.
Data can be:
•
•
•
Words must be aligned to 4-byte boundaries. Halfwords must be aligned to 2-byte
boundaries.
8-bit (bytes)
16-bit (halfwords)
32-bit (words).
