![]() If bit 0 of the Rx is set, CPU enters in Thumb mode and starts to process instructions in Thumb instruction set from given address. It is unconditional branch to the address from Rx register. This instruction is described as branch and exchange. It do however uses one new instruction: BX Rx (hex: 1xFFF2E1) But it is not.Ĭontinuing my investigation I discovered that AutoMapa never gets into Thumb mode – it run in default ARM mode all the time. It found out that AutoMapa ( wce42Am.exe) is compiled for ARMv5 instruction set with some additional instructions called Thumb mode and SIMPad CPU – StrongARM has only implemented ARMv4 (without Thumb mode). I’ve started to investigate what’s the reason – I’ve googled for information. One of them was AutoMapa (for navigation). There is pack of dlls for SIMPad to run some of them (google for simpad fake dlls), also there is program changing PE headers which modify minimum system version required to run. Unfortunately Siemens was never released WinCE 4.2 for his product, last of the 4.x line system which is required for many programs. It’s not a secret that I get it to play around with – I like vintage hardware like this. It is an old ARM-based 8,4″ touchscreen device with Windows CE 4.1 on board. About two years ago I bought a Siemens SIMPad tablet.
