ARM Cortex-M instructions

ARM Cortex-M instruction sets

ARM Cortex-M	Thumb	Thumb-2	Hardware multiply	Hardware divide	Saturated math	DSP extensions	Floating-point	ARM architecture	Core architecture
Cortex-M0	Most	Subset	1 or 32 cycle	No	No	No	No	ARMv6-M	Von Neumann
Cortex-M0+	Most	Subset	1 or 32 cycle	No	No	No	No	ARMv6-M	Von Neumann
Cortex-M1	Most	Subset	3 or 33 cycle	No	No	No	No	ARMv6-M	Von Neumann
Cortex-M3	Entire	Entire	1 cycle	Yes	Yes	No	No	ARMv7-M	Harvard
Cortex-M4	Entire	Entire	1 cycle	Yes	Yes	Yes	Optional	ARMv7E-M	Harvard
Cortex-M4F	Entire	Entire	1 cycle	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	ARMv7E-M	Harvard

Note: The Cortex-M0 / M0+ / M1 doesn't include these Thumb instructions:
CBZ, CBNZ, IT; nor does it include a divide instruction.

Note: The Cortex-M0 / M0+ / M1 only include these Thumb-2 instructions:
DMB, DSB, ISB, MRS, MSR.

Note: If a smaller silicon die size is required, the Cortex-M0 / M0+ / M1
can implement a smaller and slower multiply instruction.

All four Cortex-M cores implement a common instruction subset that consists of:

Thumb subset, Thumb-2 subset, and multiply.

The Cortex-M0 / M0+ / M1 include all older Thumb instructions,
except new instructions (CBZ, CBNZ, IT) which were added in ARMv7-M architecture.

The Cortex-M0 / M0+ / M1 include a minor subset of Thumb-2 instructions
(BL, DMB, DSB, ISB, MRS, MSR).

The Cortex-M0 / M0+ / M1 were designed to be the smallest size possible,
thus having the fewest instructions of the Cortex-M family.

The Cortex-M3 adds 3 Thumb instructions and all Thumb-2 instructions,
plus a 10-12 cycle hardware divide and saturated math instructions.

The Cortex-M4 adds DSP instructions and an optional single-precisionfloating-point unit. 

If the Cortex-M4 has the floating point unit, then it is known as the Cortex-M4F.
