ARM Processor Register Vs Word


What's the difference between a register and a word? As far as I know,

Can someone help me get this concept right? Thanks in advance!


Solution

  • Being a 32bit architecture, the addressing area is 2^32 = 4GB.
    And since each word is 4 bytes long, the total area in word is 4GB/4 = 1G words (2^30)
