ARMv1 is the first ARM instruction set version. Introduced with the ARM1 on April 26 1985, the ARMv1 defines a 32-bit ISA along with 26-bit addressing space. The ARMv1 was only implemented by the ARM1 and was replaced soon after by the ARM2. Only a few hundred of those chips were ever fabricated.

Overview[edit]

The ARMv1 presents a simple instruction set architecture, albeit bigger and more complex than many of its RISC contemporaries, consisting of mostly simple operations along with a number of complex ones borrowed from early 8-bit CISC microprocessors. Each instruction is 32-bit in size and operates on two 32-bit operands. There is a 24-bit program counter allowing for a 26-bit address space of up to 64 MiB of memory.

Registers[edit]

There are 16 general purpose 32-bit registers. With the exception of register 15 and 14, all registers are orthogonal with no specific designated purpose.

Addressing Mode[edit]

The ARMv1 has five addressing modes:

Mode Syntax Operation
PC Relative Label Effective_Address = PC ± Offset (12 bits)
Base Register Offset
With Post-Increment
[Rn], offset Effective_Address = Rn
Rn = Rn ± offset
Base Register Offset
With Pre-Increment
[Rn, offset] Effective_Address = Rn ± offset (12 bits)
Rn = Rn ± offset
Base Register Index
With Post-Increment
[Rn], Rm Effective_Address = Rn
Rn = Rn ± Rm
Base Register Index
With Pre-Increment
[Rn, Rm] Effective_Address = Rn ± Rm
Rn = Rn ± Rm

Instruction Listing[edit]

The ARMv1 ISA has 45 operations under 23 mnemonics. The ARMv1 is broken down into 8 classes of instruction:

Multiplication and Floating Point[edit]

ARMv1 does not have support for multiplication. Software that requires multiplication will have to resort to a software implementation (e.g., Shift-and-Add Multiplication). This was considerably slow and was consequently added in later ARM versions. Likewise there was no support for hardware floating point or an ability to do such operations on an external FPU coprocessor.
