ARM Instruction Reference

4.7.6LDC2, STC2

Transfer data between memory and coprocessor, alternative instructions.

Syntax

These instructions have three possible forms:

•zero offset

•pre-indexed offset

•post-indexed offset.

The syntax of the three forms, in the same order, are:

op coproc, CRd, [Rn]

op coproc, CRd, [Rn, #{-}offset]{!}op coproc, CRd, [Rn], #{-}offset where:

op	is either LDC2 or STC2.
coproc	is the name of the coprocessor the instruction is for. The standard name
	is pn, where n is an integer in the range 0-15.
CRd	is the coprocessor register to load or save.
Rn	is the register on which the memory address is based. If r15 is specified,
	the value used is the address of the current instruction plus eight.

-is an optional minus sign. If - is present, the offset is subtracted from Rn. Otherwise, the offset is added to Rn.

offset is an expression evaluating to a multiple of 4, in the range 0-1020.

!is an optional suffix. If ! is present, the address including the offset is written back into Rn.

Usage

The use of this instruction depends on the coprocessor. See the coprocessor documentation for details.

Note

LDC2 and STC2 are always unconditional.
