Hi every one,
I'm working on STM controller, i read about the ARM instruction set, Thumb and Thumb-2 but they are don't understandable for me.

No examples for it please can any one explain about their significance with the example.

Thanks & Regards,

ARM = 32-bit instructions. Thumb = 16 bit instructions. Better performance / bigger code size in ARM mode vs Thumb.
Thumb 2 is mixed 32/16 bit instructions. Somewhere in between the two.
 
Hi jbeniston,

How the ARM instruction set, thumb and thumb-2 instruction sets are look like?????

Thanks & Regards,
