Which ARM instruction is used to call a subroutine?
AMOV
BCMP
CADD
DBL
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Identify ARM instructions for subroutine calls

    In ARM assembly, the 'BL' (Branch with Link) instruction calls a subroutine and saves the return address.
  2. Step 2: Differentiate from other instructions

    MOV moves data, ADD adds numbers, CMP compares values; none call subroutines.
  3. Final Answer:

    BL -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Subroutine call instruction = BL [OK]
Quick Trick: Use BL to call subroutines in ARM [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Confusing MOV with subroutine call
  • Using ADD or CMP to call subroutines
  • Not saving return address with BL
