Die of a STM32F100C4T6B ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller with 16 kilobytes flash memory, 24 MHz Central Processing Unit (CPU), motor control and Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) functions. Manufactured by STMicroelectronics.

The ARM Cortex-M is a group of 32-bit RISC ARM processor cores licensed by ARM Holdings. The cores are intended for microcontroller applications, and consists of the Cortex-M0, Cortex-M0+, Cortex-M1, Cortex-M3, Cortex-M4.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]

Overview

ARM license

ARM Holdings does not manufacture nor sell CPU devices based on its own designs, but rather, licenses the processor architecture to interested parties. ARM offers a variety of licensing terms, varying in cost and deliverables. To all licensees, ARM provides an integratable hardware description of the ARM core, as well as complete software development toolset, and the right to sell manufactured silicon containing the ARM CPU.

Silicon customization

Integrated device manufacturers (IDM) receive the ARM Processor IP as synthesizable RTL (written in Verilog). In this form, they have the ability to perform architectural level optimizations and extensions. This allows the manufacturer to achieve custom design goals, such as higher clock speed, very low power consumption, instruction set extensions, optimizations for size, debug support, etc. To determine which components have been included in an ARM IC chip, consult the manufacturer datasheet and related documentation. Some of the most important options for the Cortex-M core are:

SysTick Timer: A 24-bit system timer that extends the functionality of both the processor and the Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC). When present, it also provides an additional configurable priority SysTick interrupt.^[6]^[7]^[8] Though the SysTick timer is optional, it's rare to see a Cortex-M microcontroller without it.
Bit Banding: Maps a complete word of memory onto a single bit in the bit-band region. For example, writing to an alias word will set or clear the corresponding bit in the bitband region. This allows every individual bit in the bit-banding region to be directly accessible from a word-aligned address, and individual bits to be toggled from C/C++ without performing a read-modify-write sequence of instructions.^[6]^[7]^[8]
Memory Protection Unit (MPU): Provides support for protecting regions of memory through enforcing privilege and access rules. It supports up to eight different regions, each of which can be split into a further eight equal-size sub-regions.^[6]^[7]^[8]

ARM Cortex-M Optional Components ^[6]^[7]
ARM Cortex-M	SysTick Timer	Bit Banding	Memory Protection Unit (MPU)
Cortex-M0 ^[1]	Optional	Optional ^[9]	No

Cortex-M1 ^[3]	Optional	No	No

Note: Most Cortex-M3 and M4 chips have Bit-Banding and MPU. The Bit-Banding option can be added to the Cortex-M0 / M0+ using the Cortex-M System Design Kit.^[9]
Note: Software should validate the existence of a feature before attempting to use it.^[8]

Additional features ^[6]^[7]

External interrupts: 0 to 32.
Wake-up interrupt controller: Optional.
Vector Table Offset Register: Optional.
Data endianness: Little-endian or big-endian.

Instruction sets

The Cortex-M0 / M0+ / M1 implement the ARMv6-M architecture,^[6] the Cortex-M3 implements the ARMv7-M architecture,^[7] and the Cortex-M4 implements the ARMv7E-M architecture.^[7] The architectures are binary instruction upward compatible from ARMv6-M to ARMv7-M to ARMv7E-M. Binary instructions available for the Cortex-M0 / M0+ / M1 can execute without modification on the Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4. Binary instructions available for the Cortex-M3 can execute without modification on the Cortex-M4.^[6]^[7]

ARM Cortex-M Instruction Sets ^[6]^[7]
ARM Cortex-M	Thumb	Thumb-2	Hardware Multiply	Hardware Divide	Saturated Math	DSP Extensions	Floating Point	ARM Architecture	Core Architecture
Cortex-M0 ^[1]	Most	Subset	1 or 32 cycle	No	No	No	No	ARMv6-M ^[6]	Von Neumann
Cortex-M0+ ^[2]	Most	Subset	1 or 32 cycle	No	No	No	No	ARMv6-M ^[6]	Von Neumann

Cortex-M4 ^[5]	Entire	Entire	1 cycle	Yes	Yes	Yes	Optional	ARMv7E-M ^[7]	Harvard

Note: The Cortex-M0 / M0+ / M1 doesn't include these Thumb instructions: CBZ, CBNZ, IT; nor does it include a divide instruction.^[6]^[7]
Note: The Cortex-M0 / M0+ / M1 only include these Thumb-2 instructions: BL, DMB, DSB, ISB, MRS, MSR.^[6]^[7]
Note: If a smaller silicon die size is required, the Cortex-M0 / M0+ / M1 can implement a smaller yet 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).^[6]^[7]

The Cortex-M0 / M0+ / M1 were designed to be the smallest size possible, thus having the least 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-precision floating-point unit.^[6]^[7] If the Cortex-M4 has the floating point unit, then it is known as the Cortex-M4F.

The Cortex-M0+ is optimized superset of the Cortex-M0. The Cortex-M0+ pipeline was reduced from 3 to 2, which lowers the overall power usage. In addition to debug features in the existing Cortex-M0, a silicon option can be added to the Cortex-M0+ called the Micro Trace Buffer (MTB) which provides a simple instruction trace. The Cortex-M0+ also received Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 features, which can be added as silicon options, such as the memory protection unit (MPU) and the vector table relocation.^[2]

Development tools

Documentation

The amount of documentation for all ARM chips is daunting, especially for newcomers. The documentation for microcontrollers from past decades would easily be inclusive in a single document, but as chips have evolved so has the documentation grown. The total documentation is especially hard to grasp for all ARM chips since it consists of documents from the IC manufacturer and documents from CPU core vendor (ARM Holdings).

A typical top-down documentation tree is: high-level marketing slides, datasheet for the exact physical chip, a detailed reference manual that describes common peripherals and other aspects of physical chips within the same series, reference manual for the exact ARM core processor within the chip, reference manual for the ARM architecture of the core which includes detailed description of all instruction sets.

Documentation Tree (top to bottom)

IC Manufacturer Marketing Slides.
IC Manufacturer Datasheets.
IC Manufacturer Reference Manuals.
ARM Core Reference Manuals.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]
ARM Architecture Reference Manuals.^[6]^[7]

IC Manufacturers usually have additional documents, including: evaluation board user manuals, application notes, getting started with development software, software library documents, errata, and more.
