Address modes (cont)

Pre-in​dexed
str r2, [r1, #4]!
Store the value found in R2 to the memory address found in R1 plus
4. Base register (R1) modified: R1= R1+4

Post-i​ndexed
ldr r3, [r1], r2, LSL#2
Load the value at memory address found in R1 to the register R3.
Then modify base register: R1 = R1+R2<​<2

Syntax:
STR Ra, [Rb, imm]
LDR Ra, [Rc, imm]
If there is a !, its prefix address mode
ldr r3, [r1, #4]!
ldr r3, [r1, r2]!
ldr r3, [r1, r2, LSL#2]!
If the base register is in brackets by itself, it’s postfix address mode
ldr r3, [r1], #4
ldr r3, [r1], r2
ldr r3, [r1], r2, LSL#2
Anything else, offset address mode:
ldr r3, [r1, #4]
ldr r3, [r1, r2]
ldr r3, [r1, r2, LSL#2]

Condit​ionals

Mnem​onic Desc​rip​tion Flags

EQ Equals Z=1
NE Non equals Z=0
HI Higher than (NS) C=1 & Z=0
LS Less than (NS) C=0 | Z=1
GE Greater or equals (WS) N=V
LT Less than (WS) N!=V
GT Greater than (WS) Z=0 & N=V
LE Less or equals than (WS) Z=1 | N!=V
(empty) Always (non condit​ional)

NS - No sign
WS - With sign

Most of intruc​tions can be executed using condit​ionals. Ie:

`movle r2, r1
