INSTRUCTION CYCLE TIMES

All instructions in this format have an equivalent ARM instruction as shown in Table 4-6. The instruction cycle
times for the THUMB instruction are identical to that of the equivalent ARM instruction.

THE BX INSTRUCTION

BX performs a Branch to a routine whose start address is specified in a Lo or Hi register.

Bit 0 of the address determines the processor state on entry to the routine:

Bit 0 = 0

Causes the processor to enter ARM state.

Bit 0 = 1

Causes the processor to enter THUMB state.

NOTE

The action of H1 = 1 for this instruction is undefined, and should not be used.
