+## ARM arch notes:
+
+### Register Names
+Reproduced from [infocenter.arm.com](http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.dui0473c/CJAJBFHC.html):
+| Name | Maps To | Meaning |
+| ---- | ------- | ------- |
+| r0-r15 | r0-r15 | These are the the registers! |
+| a1-a4 | r0-r3 | Argument, result, or scratch registers |
+| v1-v8 | r4-r11 | Variable registers |
+| sb | r9 | Static base register |
+| fp | r11 | Frame pointer\* |
+| ip | r12 | Intra-procedure call register |
+| sp | r13 | Stack pointer |
+| lr | r14 | link register |
+| pc | r15 | program counter |
+
+\* `fp` does not appear to be explicitly referenced in ARM documentation, and mapping to r11 looks to be OS (Windows/Linux?) convention.
