## Description

## Macro Definition Documentation

#define __BKPT | ( |  | value | ) | __breakpoint(value)

Causes the processor to enter Debug state. Debug tools can use this to investigate system state when the instruction at a particular address is reached.

Parameters

  [in] | value | is ignored by the processor. If required, a debugger can use it to store additional information about the breakpoint.

#define __DMB | ( |  | ) | __dmb(0xF)

Ensures the apparent order of the explicit memory operations before and after the instruction, without ensuring their completion.

#define __DSB | ( |  | ) | __dsb(0xF)

Acts as a special kind of Data Memory Barrier. It completes when all explicit memory accesses before this instruction complete.

#define __ISB | ( |  | ) | __isb(0xF)

Instruction Synchronization Barrier flushes the pipeline in the processor, so that all instructions following the ISB are fetched from cache or memory, after the instruction has been completed.

#define __NOP __nop

No Operation does nothing. This instruction can be used for code alignment purposes.

#define __SEV __sev

Send Event is a hint instruction. It causes an event to be signaled to the CPU.

#define __WFE __wfe

Wait For Event is a hint instruction that permits the processor to enter

#define __WFI __wfi

Wait For Interrupt is a hint instruction that suspends execution until one of a number of events occurs.

## Function Documentation

uint8_t __CLZ | ( | uint32_t | value | ) |

Counts the number of leading zeros of a data value.

Parameters

  [in] | value | Value to count the leading zeros

Returns
  number of leading zeros in value

uint32_t __RBIT | ( | uint32_t | value | ) |

Reverses the bit order of the given value.

Parameters

  [in] | value | Value to reverse

Returns
  Reversed value

uint32_t __REV | ( | uint32_t | value | ) |

Reverses the byte order in unsigned integer value. For example, 0x12345678 becomes 0x78563412.

Parameters

  [in] | value | Value to reverse

Returns
  Reversed value

uint16_t __REV16 | ( | uint16_t | value | ) |

Reverses the byte order within each halfword of a word. For example, 0x12345678 becomes 0x34127856.

Parameters

  [in] | value | Value to reverse

Returns
  Reversed value

int32_t __REVSH | ( | int32_t | value | ) |

Reverses the byte order in a 16-bit value and returns the signed 16-bit result. For example, 0x0080 becomes 0x8000.

Parameters

  [in] | value | Value to reverse

Returns
  Reversed value

uint32_t __ROR | ( | uint32_t | op1,
|  | uint32_t | op2
| ) |  |

Rotate Right (immediate) provides the value of the contents of a register rotated by a variable number of bits.

Parameters

  [in] | op1 | Value to rotate
  [in] | op2 | Number of Bits to rotate

Returns
  Rotated value
