ARM INSTRUCTION SET

S3C2440A RISC MICROPROCESSOR

3-26

OPERAND RESTRICTIONS

R15 must not be used as an operand or as a destination register.

RdHi, RdLo, and Rm must all specify different registers.


CPSR FLAGS

Setting the CPSR flags is optional, and is controlled by the S bit in the instruction. The N and Z flags are set
correctly on the result (N is equal to bit 63 of the result, Z is set if and only if all 64 bits of the result are zero). Both
the C and V flags are set to meaningless values.


INSTRUCTION CYCLE TIMES

MULL takes 1S + (m+1)I and MLAL 1S + (m+2)I cycles to execute, where m is the number of 8 bit multiplier array
cycles required to complete the multiply, which is controlled by the value of the multiplier operand specified by Rs.

Its possible values are as follows:

For Signed INSTRUCTIONS SMULL, SMLAL:

••••

If bits [31:8] of the multiplier operand are all zero or all one.

••••

If bits [31:16] of the multiplier operand are all zero or all one.

••••

If bits [31:24] of the multiplier operand are all zero or all one.

••••

In all other cases.

For Unsigned Instructions UMULL, UMLAL:

••••

If bits [31:8] of the multiplier operand are all zero.

••••

If bits [31:16] of the multiplier operand are all zero.

••••

If bits [31:24] of the multiplier operand are all zero.

••••

In all other cases.

S and I are defined as sequential (S-cycle) and internal (I-cycle), respectively.
