Up to 16 coprocessors can be referenced by a system, each with a unique coprocessor ID number to identify it. The ARM7TDMI core contains one internal coprocessor:
CP14, the debug communications channel coprocessor.
Other coprocessor numbers have also been reserved. Coprocessor availability is listed in Table 4.1.
