4.1.2 Cortex-M3 Operating Modes
The Cortex-M3 operates at either the privileged level or the user
level, and in either the thread mode or the handler mode.
Because the handler mode is only enabled at the privileged level,
there are actually only three states, as shown in
Table 4-1. Operational Level
At the user level, access to certain instructions, special registers,
configuration registers, and debugging components is blocked.
Attempts to access them cause a fault exception. At the
privileged level, access to all instructions and registers is
allowed.
The processor runs in the handler mode (always at the privileged
level) when handling an exception, and in the thread mode when
not.
4.1.3 CPU Registers
The Cortex-M3 CPU registers are listed in
R0-R15 are all 32 bits wide.

R0-R12
Bit-band support. Atomic bit-level write and read operations.
Unaligned data storage and access. Contiguous storage of
data of different byte lengths.
Operation at two privilege levels (privileged and user) and in
two modes (thread and handler). Some instructions can only
be executed at the privileged level. There are also two stack
pointers: Main (MSP) and Process (PSP). These features
support a multitasking operating system running one or more
user-level processes.
Extensive interrupt and system exception support.
Register
Condition
General purpose registers R0-R12 have no
special architecturally defined uses. Most
instructions that specify a general purpose
register specify R0-R12.
Low Registers: Registers R0-R7 are acces-
sible by all instructions that specify a general
purpose register.
High Registers: Registers R8-R12 are acces-
sible by all 32-bit instructions that specify a
general purpose register; they are not acces-
sible by all 16-bit instructions.

R13 is the stack pointer register. It is a banked
register that switches between two 32-bit stack
pointers: the Main Stack Pointer (MSP) and the
Process Stack Pointer (PSP). The PSP is used
only when the CPU operates at the user level in
thread mode. The MSP is used in all other
privilege levels and modes. Bits[0:1] of the SP
are ignored and considered to be 0, so the SP is
always aligned to a word (4 byte) boundary.
R14 is the Link Register (LR). The LR stores the
return address when a subroutine is called.
R15 is the Program Counter (PC). Bit 0 of the PC
is ignored and considered to be 0, so instructions
are always aligned to a half word (2 byte)
boundary.
The Program status registers are divided into
three status registers, which are accessed either
together or separately:
A 1-bit interrupt mask register. When set, it
allows only the nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) and
hard fault exception. All other exceptions and
interrupts are masked.
allows only the NMI. All other exceptions and
interrupts are masked.
A register of up to nine bits that define the
masking priority level. When set, it disables all
interrupts of the same or higher priority value. If
set to 0 then the masking function is disabled.
A 2-bit register for controlling the operating
mode.
Bit 0: 0 = privileged level in thread mode,
1 = user level in thread mode.
Bit 1: 0 = default stack (MSP) is used,
1 = alternate stack is used. If in thread mode or
user level then the alternate stack is the PSP.
There is no alternate stack for handler mode; the
bit must be 0 while in handler mode.

Application Program Status Register (APSR)
holds program execution status bits such as
zero, carry, negative, in bits[27:31].
Interrupt Program Status Register (IPSR)
holds the current exception number in bits[0:8].
Execution Program Status Register (EPSR)
holds control bits for interrupt continuable and
IF-THEN instructions in bits[10:15] and
[25:26]. Bit 24 is always set to 1 to indicate
Thumb mode. Trying to clear it causes a fault
exception.
