Converting hexadecimal to ARM assembly involves the following steps:
When the ARM processor encounters E3A01001 , it does not see English text. It sees the electrical pathways defined by those binary bits. It activates the correct logic gates, routes the value 1 through the ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit), and stores it in the physical register R1.
The next chunk determines the instruction type. The processor looks at bits 27-25 (the ):
