<p> Registers are the register contents of the central processing unit (CPU) of the targeted device. When debugging projects on a device, only the target device registers are visible, for example the ARM registers. The ARM microprocessor has 16 general-purpose registers. THUMB has eight general-purpose registers, R0-R7, and access to the high registers, R8-R15. Note that registers R0 through R3 hold the first four words of incoming arguments. The microprocessor constructs remaining arguments in the calling function's argument build area, which does not provide space into which R0 through R3 can be spilled.</p> |

<p>In most cases, the contents of all the registers can be modified. However, when debugging applications on a target device with Application TRK, you cannot change the LR, SP, and CPSR registers.</p> |
