2.3. ARM architecture v5TE

This section gives an overview of the RealView tools support for ARMv5TE. This variant of the ARM architecture provides enhanced arithmetic support for Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms. It supports both ARM and Thumb instruction sets.

Table 2.3. Useful command-line options

Command-line optionDescription
--cpu=5TEARMv5 with Thumb, interworking, DSP multiply, and double-word instructions
--cpu=5TEJARMv5 with Thumb, interworking, DSP multiply, double-word instructions, and Jazelle® extensions[a]
--cpu=name

Where name is a specific ARM processor. For example:

  • ARM926EJ-S for ARMv5 with Thumb, Jazelle extensions, physically mapped caches and MMU.

[a] The ARM compiler cannot generate Jazelle bytecodes.
