OPERATION 
There are four sets of instructions in this group. The first three allow ADD, CMP and MOV operations to be 
performed between Lo and Hi registers, or a pair of Hi registers. The fourth, BX, allows a Branch to be performed 
which may also be used to switch processor state. The THUMB assembler syntax is shown in Table 4-6. 
NOTES 
In this group only CMP (Op = 01) sets the CPSR condition codes. 
The action of H1= 0, H2 = 0 for Op = 00 (ADD), Op =01 (CMP) and Op = 10 (MOV) is undefined, and should not 
be used.
