OPERATION
These instructions transfer halfword values between a Lo register and memory. Addresses are pre-indexed, using
a 6-bit immediate value. The THUMB assembler syntax is shown in Table 4-11.

Description
0
STRH Rd, [Rb, #Imm]
STRH Rd, [Rb, #Imm]
Add #Imm to base address in Rb and store
bits 0 - 15 of Rd at the resulting address.
1
LDRH Rd, [Rb, #Imm]
LDRH Rd, [Rb, #Imm]
Add #Imm to base address in Rb. Load bits
0-15 from the resulting address into Rd and
set bits 16-31 to zero.
NOTE
#Imm is a full 6-bit address but must be halfword-aligned (ie with bit 0 set to 0) since the assembler places
#Imm >> 1 in the Offset5 field.
