ARM assembler register read

Hello All,

I need a quick example of how to place a value from a hardware register (0x70001234 for example) into a register such as R0
then compare it to a constant such as 0xE0680003 and do a branch based on equality.

So far I have had no luck getting something this simple to work.

Thanks,
Dennis

    ldr     r1, =(SBMR)

    --> This code will not read a RAM/Peripheral register. The parenthesis is treated by the assembler to contain an equation of sorts that eventually results to a constant. Thus, this code boils down to ldr, r1, = constant.

    See my example and study it. Also read the Assembly instruction sets manual from ARM. The books by Sloss and Hohl are very good place to start with.
