Epson ARM720T Manuel D’Utilisation

This glossary describes some of the terms used in this manual. Where terms can have several 

meanings, the meaning presented here is intended.

Is caused by an illegal memory access. Abort can be caused by the external 

memory system, an external MMU, or the EmbeddedICE-RT logic.

A procedure shared by many different instructions, for generating values 

used by the instructions. For four of the ARM addressing modes, the values 

generated are memory addresses (which is the traditional role of an 

addressing mode). A fifth addressing mode generates values to be used as 

operands by data-processing instructions.

The part of a computer that performs all arithmetic computations, such as 

addition and multiplication, and all comparison operations.

See 

Arithmetic Logic Unit.

A processor that is executing ARM (32-bit) instructions is operating in 

ARM state.

Memory organization where the least significant byte of a word is at a 

higher address than the most significant byte.

Register numbers whose physical register is defined by the current 

processor mode. The banked registers are registers r8 to r14, or r13 to r14, 

depending on the processor mode.

A location in the program. If execution reaches this location, the debugger 

halts execution of the code image.
