1. On the ARM7500FE, these FP instructions are provided by hardware.
2. On the ARM7500FE, these FP instructions are provided by software.
3. This FP instruction is required by IEEE (754-1985).
4. These FP instructions are only provided by hardware floating point systems.
5. These FP instructions are provided for backwards compatibility, and are emulated.

Instructions in bold are the core ARM instructions.
Instructions in italics are provided by the Floating Point Accelerator/Emulator.
Instructions in Dark Grey italics are miscellaneous ARMv5 instrctions.

Instructions in Dark Slate Grey italics are VFP or Thumb instructions.

Everything else are bits and pieces that were worth including, shift options and common assembler mnemonics...

Co-processor instructions are listed. However the ARM processors used in RISC OS machines do not support co-processors, and only the virtual co-processor functions present within the chip can be accessed. These provide facilities for setting up the ARM, cache, MMU, etc...

The Thumb instructions are a subset of the normal ARM instructions, designed to work in a 16 bit mode. This allows more code in less memory, and for cheaper memory subsystems to be used. It is a compromise between the ARM's 32 bit power, and cost-effectiveness. Before you scratch your head and think "Huh? But DIMMs are cheap!", remember life is rather different when we are talking of specialist embedded devices, ranging from spacecraft to mobile phones. Anyway, some instructions, like STR and MOV are duplicated for the Thumb instructions so there's no ambiguity.
The Vector Floating Point appears to be a superset of the hardware components of the original FPU. Things like POW and COS are not present, as they can be done with software assistance - it would not be in keeping with RISC principles to devote silicon to things like that.
