<h4 class="subsection">21.3.2 ARM</h4>
<p><span class="sc">gdb</span> provides the following ARM-specific commands:
<dl>
<dt><code>set arm disassembler</code><dd><a name="index-set-arm-1578"></a>This commands selects from a list of disassembly styles. The
<code>"std"</code> style is the standard style.
<br><dt><code>show arm disassembler</code><dd><a name="index-show-arm-1579"></a>Show the current disassembly style.
<br><dt><code>set arm apcs32</code><dd><a name="index-ARM-32_002dbit-mode-1580"></a>This command toggles ARM operation mode between 32-bit and 26-bit.
<br><dt><code>show arm apcs32</code><dd>Display the current usage of the ARM 32-bit mode.
<br><dt><code>set arm fpu </code><var>fputype</var><dd>This command sets the ARM floating-point unit (FPU) type. The
argument <var>fputype</var> can be one of these:
<dl>
<dt><code>auto</code><dd>Determine the FPU type by querying the OS ABI.
<br><dt><code>softfpa</code><dd>Software FPU, with mixed-endian doubles on little-endian ARM
processors.
<br><dt><code>fpa</code><dd>GCC-compiled FPA co-processor.
<br><dt><code>softvfp</code><dd>Software FPU with pure-endian doubles.
<br><dt><code>vfp</code><dd>VFP co-processor.
</dl>
<br><dt><code>show arm fpu</code><dd>Show the current type of the FPU.
<br><dt><code>set arm abi</code><dd>This command forces <span class="sc">gdb</span> to use the specified ABI.
<br><dt><code>show arm abi</code><dd>Show the currently used ABI.
<br><dt><code>set arm fallback-mode (arm|thumb|auto)</code><dd><span class="sc">gdb</span> uses the symbol table, when available, to determine
whether instructions are ARM or Thumb. This command controls
<span class="sc">gdb</span>'s default behavior when the symbol table is not
available. The default is &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">auto</span></samp>&rsquo;, which causes <span class="sc">gdb</span> to
use the current execution mode (from the <code>T</code> bit in the <code>CPSR</code>
register).
<br><dt><code>show arm fallback-mode</code><dd>Show the current fallback instruction mode.
<br><dt><code>set arm force-mode (arm|thumb|auto)</code><dd>This command overrides use of the symbol table to determine whether
instructions are ARM or Thumb. The default is &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">auto</span></samp>&rsquo;, which
causes <span class="sc">gdb</span> to use the symbol table and then the setting
of &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">set arm fallback-mode</span></samp>&rsquo;.
<br><dt><code>show arm force-mode</code><dd>Show the current forced instruction mode.
<br><dt><code>set debug arm</code><dd>Toggle whether to display ARM-specific debugging messages from the ARM
target support subsystem.
<br><dt><code>show debug arm</code><dd>Show whether ARM-specific debugging messages are enabled.
</dl>
<dl>
<dt><code>target sim </code><span class="roman">[</span><var>simargs</var><span class="roman">]</span><code> ...</code><dd>The <span class="sc">gdb</span> ARM simulator accepts the following optional arguments.
<dl>
<dt><code>--swi-support=</code><var>type</var><dd>Tell the simulator which SWI interfaces to support. The argument
<var>type</var> may be a comma separated list of the following values.
The default value is <code>all</code>.
<dl>
<dt><code>none</code><br><dt><code>demon</code><br><dt><code>angel</code><br><dt><code>redboot</code><br><dt><code>all</code><dd></dl>
