Programmer’s Model2.7 VFPv3 architectureThe VFP architecture v3 is an enhancement to the VFP architecture v2. The mainchanges are:• the doubling of the number of double-precision registers to 32• the introduction of an instruction that places a floating-point constant in a register,and instructions that perform conversions between fixed-point and floating-pointnumbers• the introduction of VFP architecture v3 variant, that does not trap floating-pointexceptions.VFPv3 is backward compatible with VFPv2 except for the capability of trappingfloating-point exceptions.See the ARM Architecture Reference Manual for information on the VFPv3architecture.2-16 Copyright © 2006-2008 ARM Limited.

Programmer’s Model2.8 Processor operating statesThe processor has the following operating states controlled by the T bit and J bit in theCPSR.ARM stateThumb stateThumbEE state32-bit, word-aligned ARM instructions are executed in this state.T bit is 0 and J bit is 0.16-bit and 32-bit, halfword-aligned Thumb-2 instructions.T bit is 1 and J bit is 0.16-bit and 32-bit, halfword-aligned variant of the Thumb-2instruction set designed as a target for dynamically generatedcode. This is code compiled on the device either shortly before orduring execution from a portable bytecode or other intermediateor native representation.T bit is 1 and J bit is 1.Note• The processor does not support Jazelle state. This means there is no processorstate where the T bit is 0 and J bit is 1.• Transition between ARM and Thumb states does not affect the processor mode orthe register contents. See the ARM Architecture Reference Manual forinformation on entering and exiting ThumbEE state.2.8.1 Switching stateYou can switch the operating state of the processor between:• ARM state and Thumb state using the BX and BLX instructions, and loads to the PC.Switching state is described in the ARM Architecture Reference Manual.• Thumb state and ThumbEE state using the ENTERX and LEAVEX instructions.Exceptions cause the processor to enter ARM or Thumb state according to the valueheld in the TE bit within the system control coprocessor. Normally, on exiting anexception handler, the processor restores the original contents of the T and J bits.2.8.2 Interworking ARM and Thumb stateThe processor enables you to mix ARM Thumb-2 code. See Chapter 4 InterworkingARM and Thumb in the RealView Compilation Tools Developer Guide for details.ARM DDI 0344E Copyright © 2006-2008 ARM Limited. All rights reserved. 2-17
