3-8 Getting Started With Blackfin Processors
Programming Reference
The programming reference contains information about the processor
architecture and assembly language for Blackfin processors. The manual
provides information on how assembly instructions execute on the Black-
fin processor’s architecture, along with reference information about
processor operations.
If you intend to program in C only, this document is of no value to you.
However, if you intend to author some assembly code, obtain this book.
Before a processor is released to production, its programming reference is
available only in electronic form as a
.pdf
file. After it is released, the
manual is available in both electronic form and as a printed manuals.
The Vi+ Help system also includes a searchable version of the
instruction set reference so you can locate information quickly.
The processor core and instruction set, which is common to all Blackfin
processors, is documented in the programming reference manual.

Printed Manuals
Printed copies of processor manuals, such as hardware reference and pro-
gramming reference manuals, may be ordered from the Analog Devices
Literature Center at 800-ANALOGD (800-262-5643). When ordering
hard copy documentation, specify the manual’s title or product number
