Introduction. Toda, )e see a lot o& ne) and ama-ing gadgets in the mar$et. .e see high end mo/ile %hones0 ta/let PC0 1et/oo$ PC and state o& the art electronic devices. It )ill ama-e us that all these devices are using %rocessors )hich are having ARM Micro%rocessor inside it. ARM micro%rocessor technolog, is the most e&&icient technolog, availa/le toda, &or the small devices mar$et. S C!ARM" Microcontroller (it is s%eci&icall, designed $ee%ing in mind the needs o& students0 to understand and learn the architecture o& the ARM 2 micro%rocessor.

The S C!ARM" $it has inter&aced the ARM" core /ased S3C4s,stem on chi%50 to various %eri%herals on the /oard. Multi%le %eri%herals are inter&aced to P3RT Pins o& the S3C.

A Current Program Status Register 4CPSR5 is also availa/le )hich contains all the mode /its and the interru%t /it and the condition /its. The modes allo) the user %rogram restricted access to certain resources o& the %rocessor. #ollo)ing are the modes in the ARM Processor. 'ser Mode @ This is the main o%erating mode &or the %rocessor.
