  • Synchronization primitives, do I need CLREX?

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to understand the LDREX/STREX commands in an ARM Cortex M3 MCU to implement atomic access to various variables (the goal is to implement semaphores/mutexes or increment/decrement shared variables).

    There are several ressources available…

  • Is ARMv7-M3 thumb instructions compatible to ARMv7-A thumb?

    Hello guys,

    I am trying to verify some features of ARMv7-M3 in a software simulator platform for ARM. But this simulator only support ARMv7-A ISA.

    Is ARMv7-M3 instructions compatible to ARMv7-A, especially thumb instructions?

    Thank you very much.

  • DMB, DSB, ISB on Cortex M3,M4,M7 Single Core parts

    I have been reading through the ARM documentation on memory and instruction barriers. 

    I have read that the single core ARMv7-M parts do not reorder instructions, as such the DSB and ISB are not needed, is this correct? 

    I have also read the same about…
