The THUMB State Register Set

The THUMB state register set is a subset of the ARM state set. The program mer has direct access to eight

general registers, R0-R7, as well as the Program Counter (PC), a stack pointer register (SP), a link register ( LR),

and the CPSR. There are banked Stack Pointers, Link Registers and Saved Process Status Registers (SPSRs) for

each privileged mode. This is shown in Figure 2-4.
