Caution
It is essential that any action taken by the coprocessor while it is busy-waiting is
idempotent
. This means that the actions taken by the coprocessor must not corrupt the
state of the coprocessor, and must be repeatable with identical results. The coprocessor
can only change its own state when the instruction has been executed.
The ARM7TDMI processor usually returns from processing the interrupt to retry the
coprocessor instruction. Other coprocessor instructions can be executed before the
interrupted instruction is executed again.

Coprocessor register transfer instructions
The coprocessor register transfer instructions, MCR and MRC, are used to transfer data
between a register in the ARM7TDMI processor register bank and a register in the
coprocessor register bank. An example sequence for a coprocessor register transfer is
shown in Figure 4-2.
