[fpc-devel] Arm Thumb2 - Stellaris status

[John Clymer]

The thumb2 is meant to support Cortex M3 devices (STM32, Stellaris, etc.)  AFAIK 
- the mixing of modes is not currently an option.

Why thumb support? The choices are indeed currently only either ARM or 
Thumb2(which is Thumb+32 bit extensions). Thumb2 is a variable length 
instruction set that looks like an arm+thumb mix, so I guarantee you that it 
works :)
