Brief history of ARM Processor What is processor ? What is RISC & CISC ? ARCHITECHTURAL simplicity Comparison with the other processors Advantages and Disadvantages Applications and scopes Conclusion

Chronicle of ARM

Developed at Acorn Computer Limited of Cambridge , England between 1983 and 1985.

Initially it was known as Acorn RISC Machine with 26 bit processor named after Berkeley RISC project.

Later joint venture was cofounded by Acorn and Apple designating it as ADVANCED RISC MACHINE.

• What is processor ? The processor (CPU)is the computer's brain. It allows

the processing of numeric data, meaning information entered in binary form, and the execution of instructions stored in memory.

What is controller ? Controller is a chip, an expansion card, or a stand-alone

device that interfaces with a peripheral device. This may be a link between of a computer or a controller on an external device that manages the operation of that device.

Processing modesSerial processing• Execution of instructions takes

place one after the other• The biggest problem with this

is that only one bit of data can be computed at a time, and complex programs cannot be split up into smaller segments.

• Time consumption takes more compared to parallel processing

i.e working is slow

Parallel processing• More than one instruction execution

takes place at a time depending on the need

• But here more than one bit of data can be computed at a time, and complex programs can be easily split into segments.

• Time consumption is very less compared to serial processing

i.e working is fast

• The simultaneous use of more than one processor core to execute a program or multiple computational threads.

CISC: Stands for Complex Instruction Set Computer

RISC: Stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computer

Features of ARM Processors

• Auto increment and auto decrement addressing mode

• Multiple load and store• Conditional execution• ALU and shifter in a single clock cycle• Thumb instructions• Parallel processing• Three stage pipe line structure

ARM7TDMI Processor• The ARM7TDMI processor is a member of the Advanced RISC

machine family of general purpose 32-bit microprocessor

• What does mean ARM7TDMI ?ARM7 - 32-bit Advanced RISC Machine

T - Thumb architecture extension• Two separate instruction sets, 32-bit ARM instructions and

16-bit Thumb instructions

D - Debug extensionM - Enhanced multiplierI - Embedded ICE macrocell extension

Architectural simplicity

Von Neumann architecture• Named after

mathematician and early computer scientist John von Neumann.

• The von Neumann architecture is a computer design model that uses a processing unit and a single separate storage structure to hold both instructions and data

The instruction pipeline• It has 3- stages pipeline• It enables several operations to take place

simultaneously

operat ing modes• The ARM Processor has seven basic operating

modes• User :Un privileged mode under which most

task run• Fiq: Entered when a high priority interrupt is

raised• Irq: Entered when a low priority interrupt is

raised• System: Privileged mode using the same

registers as user mode

Opreating modes(contd…)• Supervisor: Entered on reset and when

software instruction is executed• Abort: Used to handle memory access

violations• Undef: Used to handle undefined instructions

registers• ARM has 37 registers, all of which are 32 bits

long– 1 dedicated program counter– 1 dedicated current program status register– 5 dedicated saved program status registers– 31 general purpose registers

• These registers are not all accessible at the same time. The processor state and operating mode determine which registers are available to the programmer.

ARM Instruction Set

• Every instruction contains a 4-bit condition code field in bits 31 to 28

• Data Processing Instructions• Load Store Instructions• Branch Instructions

THUMB Instruction Set• The Thumb instruction set is mostly a subset of the32 bit

ARM instruction set, optimized for code density• Thumb instructions are each 16 bits long, and have a

corresponding 32-bit ARM instruction that has the same effect on the processor model.

• Thumb has all the advantages of a 32-bit core: • 32-bit address space • 32-bit registers • 32-bit shifter, and Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) • 32-bit memory transfer• Thumb code is typically 65% of the size of ARM code, and

provides 160% of the performance of ARM code when running from a 16-bit memory system.

differencesARM PROCESSOR• ARM executes almost all the

instruction in only one cycle Ex:1 cycles for execution of BNEQ in ARM

• RISC based architecture• based on load store

architecture

8051 MICROCONTROLLER• 8051 micro controller takes

more than one cycles in almost all the instruction except register transfer Ex:3 cycles for execution of DJNZ in 8051

• CISC based architecture• 8051 can access memory

directly

Up’s and down’s

Merits

• Low power consumption

• Cost sensitive embedded application

• Cheap• Easy to develop• High performance • Low code size• Increases speed

Demerits

• Need all software’s to be developed for new architecture

Scope and Applications…

• Mobile phones and PDA• Patient Monitoring • Automotive power train• Anti lock braking• High end Washing Machine• Image processing
