Answer #1

There is 30 general purpose register in ARM. (except ARMv6-M and ARMv7-M based processor).

At any point in time, 15 general purpose registers are visible to the user. I have stated their name and usage below.

R0 - R12 = 13 Registers:

These Registers are used to load/store the values, which are being used by execution of the program.

SP(R13) = Stack Pointer

This register is used to store the address of the next instruction by the program where the address of the next instruction is saved.

LR(R14) = Link register

This register is used to store the return address of any subroutine being called from the program
