What is LDR and STR?
Generally, LDR is used to load something from memory into a register, and STR is used to store something from a register to a memory address. The first LDR loads the address of var1 into register R0. The second LDR does the same for var2 and loads it to R1.
How does the LDR instruction work?
The LDR Rd,= label pseudo-instruction places an address in a literal pool and then loads the address into a register. LDR Rd,= label can load any 32-bit numeric value into a register. It also accepts PC-relative expressions such as labels, and labels with offsets.
What does STR mean in assembly?
immediate offset
Assembler User Guide: STR (immediate offset)
What is the use of SWI in ARM assembly?
INTRODUCTION TO THE ARM INSTRUCTION SET A software interrupt instruction (SWI) causes a software interrupt exception, which provides a mechanism for applications to call operating system routines. When the processor executes an SWI instruction, it sets the program counter pc to the offset 0×8 in the vector table.
What does STR stand for in finance?
Suspicious Transaction Reporting (STR) – Financial Intelligence Unit.
Where is LDR used?
These resistors are frequently used as light sensors. These resistors are mainly used when there is a need to sense the absence and presence of the light such as burglar alarm circuits, alarm clock, light intensity meters, etc. LDR resistors mainly involves in various electrical and electronic projects.

What is the name of the AArch64 instruction set?
The ‘64’ in the name refers to the use of this instruction by the AArch64 Execution state. It does not refer to the size of the instructions in memory. The A32 and T32 instruction sets are also referred to as ‘ARM’ and ‘Thumb’, respectively.
How is random access memory used in AArch64?
Random access memory, or simply, memory is an essential component of any architecture. Recall that the memory can be seen as an array of bytes each paired with a consecutive number called the address. In AArch64 the address is a 64-bit number (which does not mean all the bits are meaningful for addresses).
How does the AArch64 assembler work in Linux?
AArch64 in Linux does not require most memory accesses to be aligned. But if they are they can be executed faster by the hardware. So we use the directive .balign to align each variable to the size of the data (in bytes). Now we can load the variables. For this example we will add 1 to each one.
Is it possible to load from a literal in AArch64?
Global objects, like global variables or functions, have addresses that are constant. This means that it should be possible to load them as literals. But as we know in AArch64 is not possible to load directly from a literal. So we need to use a two-step approach (which is by the way very common in RISC architectures).
