Hi, Good Day.
I am working on ARM7TDMI core processor from Analog Devices family (ADuC703x). I developed a preemptive scheduler on the same in ARM environment. The functionality of the same is fine and its working well. For the purpose of optimization, i migrated into thumb mode using Keil RV compiler option (by changing the code generation option to THUMB mode and the optimization level option to 3 in C/C++ tab of the target settings option).
After changing the settings my code size is reduced by 2 KB. But, the complete functionality of the software got changed.
Can anybody help me out to get out of this problem? Also, I would like to know why this kind of behavior is occurring... Please let me know your valuable suggesions.
Thanking you in anticipation, Ravi Kumar Desaraju.
Hi,
I am executing the "BX LR" instruction with least significant bit of the LR register as 1. Also, I observed the state of T bit in CPSR register after executing the above mentioned instruction. Its switching from ARM mode to THUMB mode.
