R0-R12 are 32-bit general-purpose registers for data operations.
The Stack Pointer (SP) is register R13. In Thread mode, bit[1] of the CONTROL register indi-
cates the stack pointer to use:
On reset, the processor loads the MSP with the value from address 0x00000000.
The Link Register (LR) is register R14. It stores the return information for subroutines, function
calls, and exceptions. On reset, the processor loads the LR value 0xFFFFFFFF
