The r13, r14, and r15 registers have the following special functions:

Stack pointer

Stack Pointer

(SP). Because the SP

ignores writes to bits [1:0], it is autoaligned to a word, four-byte
boundary.

Handler mode always uses SP_main, but you can configure
Thread mode to use either SP_main or SP_process.

Link register

Link Register

(LR).

The LR receives the return address from PC when a

Branch and

Link

(BL) or

Branch and Link with Exchange

(BLX) instruction is

executed.

The LR is also used for exception return.

At all other times, you can treat r14 as a general-purpose register.

Program counter

Program Counter

(PC).

Bit [0] is always 0, so instructions are always aligned to word or
halfword boundaries.

2.3.2

Special-purpose Program Status Registers (xPSR)

Processor status at the system level breaks down into three categories:

•

Application PSR

•

Interrupt PSR

on page 2-6

•

Execution PSR

on page 2-7.

They can be accessed as individual registers, a combination of any two from three, or a
combination of all three using the

Move to Register from Status

(MRS) and MSR

instructions.

Application PSR

The

Application PSR

(APSR) contains the condition code flags. Before entering an

exception, the processor saves the condition code flags on the stack. You can access the
APSR with the MSR(2) and MRS(2) instructions.

Figure 2-2 on page 2-6 shows the bit assignments of the APSR.
