In this chapter, we discuss the ARM-based computer’s memory. So far, we’ve used memory to hold our Assembly instructions; now we will look in detail at how to define data in memory, then how to load memory into registers for processing, and, finally, how to write the results back to memory.

The ARM processor uses what is called a load-store architecture. This means that the instruction set is divided into two categories: one to load and store values from and to memory and the other to perform arithmetic and logical operations between the registers. We’ve spent most of ...
