    This document provides an overview of the ARM7 processor and its programming model. It describes the 7 different processor modes and how each mode has access to 16 general purpose registers (GPRs). It also discusses the purpose of key registers like the Program Counter (PC), Link Register (LR), and Stack Pointer (SP) and how some registers are "banked" between modes. Finally, it notes that with banked registers, the ARM7 effectively has 37 registers total, despite only having 32 physical registers.
