I'm working on a program in ARM assembly (Raspberry pi), but I have a problem.
I have this code, but the lower part is always executing (skip$).
mov r1, #3
mov r3, #4
add r2, r1, r3
bl Debug
cmp r2, #0x0A
ble skip$
mov r0, #10
sub r0, r0, r1
mov r3, r0
bl Debug
skip$:
What am I missing?
The Debug function just sends r0 - r4 trough UART to my pc.
When I run this, at the end, r3 is 7. Which should be still 4.
Thanks in advance

Edit: Here are the other functions used.
Debug:
push {r0 - r4, lr}
mov r4, r0
mov r0, #10
bl UART_write
mov r0, r4
bl UART_write
mov r0, #11
bl UART_write
mov r0, r1
bl UART_write
mov r0, #12
bl UART_write
mov r0, r2
bl UART_write
mov r0, #13
bl UART_write
mov r0, r3
bl UART_write
pop {r0 - r4, pc}
UART_write:
push {r0 - r2, lr}
ldr r1, =UART0_FR
wait_write$:
ldr r2, [r1]
tst r2, #0x20
bne wait_write$
ldr r1, =UART0_DR
and r0, #0x000000ff
str r0, [r1]
pop {r0 - r2, pc}
2nd Edit: I've used this code for the setup of the stack pointer.
setup_stack:
mov r0, #0xD1 @ FIQ
msr cpsr, r0
ldr sp, =stack_fiq
mov r0, #0xD2 @ IRQ
msr cpsr, r0
ldr sp, =stack_irq
mov r0, #0xD7 @ ABT
msr cpsr, r0
ldr sp, =stack_abt
mov r0, #0xDB @ UND
msr cpsr, r0
ldr sp, =stack_und
mov r0, #0xDF @ SYS
msr cpsr, r0
ldr sp, =stack_sys
mov r0, #0xD3 @ SVC
msr cpsr, r0
ldr sp, =stack_svc
mov pc, lr
And this is my linker:
.= ALIGN(0x1000);
/* Stack space */
. = . + 0x800;
stack_svc = .;
. = . + 0x800;
stack_und = .;
. = . + 0x800;
stack_abt = .;
. = . + 0x800;
stack_irq = .;
. = . + 0x800;
stack_fiq = .;
. = . + 0x400000;
stack_sys = .;
I found the problem (and answer) of this question.
The problem was, that I was reading a byte from and address using ldr, so the output word had some garbage at the top 24 bits.
Instead of ldr I should've used ldrb (load byte).
The UART0_write function only sends the lowest byte of the register, so it looked right.
