SAM4S Series [Preliminary]
A conditional execution can be used with the IT instruction to reduce the number of branch
instructions in code.
also shows the relationship between condition code suffixes and the N, Z, C, and V
flags.
Absolute Value
The example below shows the use of a conditional instruction to find the absolute value of a
number. R0 = ABS(R1).
MOVS
R0, R1
; R0 = R1, setting flags
IT MI
;
IT
instruction for the negative condition
RSBMI
R0, R1, #0
; If negative, R0 = -R1
Compare and Update Value
The example below shows the use of conditional instructions to update the value of R4 if the
signed values R0 is greater than R1 and R2 is greater than R3.
CMP R0,
R1
;
Compare R0 and R1, setting flags
ITT GT
;
IT
instruction for the two GT conditions
CMPGT
R2, R3
; If 'greater than', compare R2 and R3, setting flags
MOVGT
R4, R5
; If still 'greater than', do R4 = R5

Instruction Width Selection
There are many instructions that can generate either a 16-bit encoding or a 32-bit encoding
depending on the operands and destination register specified. For some of these instructions,
