ARM Newbie question

2004-04-21 by dibosco

Hi folks,

I hope this question isn't inaapropriate for such a group, but I'm new
to the ARM. Even though I've programmed a fair array pf eight and
sixteen bit devices in the past, I don't ever remember dealing with a
device that has a supervisor mode. As far as I understand it,
supervisor mode, user mode etc are for when you are running an
operating system. Therefore, if I write "normal" run-'til-complete
type software, does that mean that I can (or maybe should) just put
the device in supervisor mode on boot up and forget about it?

If this is an FAQ type question for ARM users and someone knows of a
useful document to explain this sort of thing I'd be most happy to go
and read it if they'd be kind enough to point me in the right direction! 

Many thanks,

Rob.
