I was thinking of the GBA port issue when I was surfing and decided to find the real name of the CPU used in it. 'ARM7TDMI' is just that. [size=9px](Which btw runs at 16.78MHz)[/size]
So I did a little search and came across this URL:
http://www.arm.com/products/CPUs/ARM7TDMI.html
Wow, would have never thought of going there now would we?
Ok easy enough, it has a ton of information about the processor.
I look down the list of wonderful features it has and come to the item mentioning the "16-bit Thumb instruction set for increased code density" which takes me to a page with
'The Thumb Architecture Extension'.
IT has some pretty cool information reguarding as to what THUMB is. Which is great, better understanding = better implimentation of it!
Now this page shows a ]http://www.arm.com/products/CPUs/architecture.html[/url]
At the bottom of the page though is a bunch of 'papers' that have a wealth of knowlage, provided someone knows how to sort information out of them.
I wonder what Daniel and Francesco have to say about these.
Would this stuff help to increase support for the full ARM7TDMI hardware --Including the THUMB instructions?
