Hello
Does Cortex-R52/Cortex-R52 support thumb-2 instructions ?
BR, Grace
Hmm, odd - the forums seem to have lost my answer. Oh well.
Short answer - yes
Cortex-R52 implements Armv8-R AArch32. Armv8-R introduced a new naming convention, A32 and T32 instead of ARM and Thumb. Which is why in the Cortex-R52 documentation you will usually see A32/T32 referred to.
Whether a processor supports "Thumb-2 technology" is reported in ID_PFR0.State1:
