S3C2440A RISC MICROPROCESSOR    THUMB INSTRUCTION SET 
  4-35 
Table 4-17. The Conditional Branch Instructions (Continued) 
L  THUMB assembler  ARM equivalent  Description 
1001  BLS label  BLS label  Branch if C clear or Z set (unsigned lower or 
same) 
1010 BGE label  BGE label  Branch if N set and V set, or N clear and V 
clear (greater or equal) 
1011 BLT label  BLT label  Branch if N set and V clear, or N clear and V 
set (less than) 
1100 BGT label  BGT label  Branch if Z clear, and either N set and V set 
or N clear and V clear (greater than) 
1101 BLE label  BLE label  Branch if Z set, or N set and V clear, or N 
clear and V set (less than or equal) 
NOTES 
1.  While label specifies a full 9-bit two's complement address, this must always be halfword-aligned (ie with bit 0 set to 0) 
  since the assembler actually places label >> 1 in field SOffset8. 
2.  Cond = 1110 is undefined, and should not be used. 
  Cond = 1111 creates the SWI instruction: see. 
INSTRUCTION CYCLE TIMES 
All instructions in this format have an equivalent ARM instruction as shown in Table 3-1. The instruction cycle 
times for the THUMB instruction are identical to that of the equivalent ARM instruction. 
EXAMPLES 
  CMP R0, #45   ;  Branch to over-if R0 > 45. 
  BGT over    ;  Note that the THUMB opcode will contain the 
        number of halfwords to offset. 
  over    ;  Must be halfword aligned.
