Some of the arm instruction set manuals seem harder to come by than others. Recently I reverse engineered one of the firmwares of the ImmersionRC Vortex 150 racing quadcopter (it uses an stm32f3 chip, arm cortex instruction set). It was pretty hard to come by a copy of the full instruction set manual - i just assumed that kind of thing would be a quick google away. Eventually i got there and made my changes but it was harder to get going than i expected but for different reasons than i was anticipating.

The instruction set reference (the architecture manual, to give it its proper title) has been freely available from ARM for some time, though you needed to create a website account and agree to a clickthrough license. It's more recently been made available as a simple download:
https://developer.arm.com/products/architecture/a-profile/do... for cortex-a profile
https://developer.arm.com/products/architecture/m-profile/do... for cortex-m profile
For documentation of the devices in a particular SoC you'll need the reference manual from the SoC manufacturer -- they of course vary in how easy it is to find those docs.
What are you talking about???

There is also the old cheat sheet:

None of these are the correct document?
I think you've inadvertently just helped make my case for me.
I don't have a link to share unfortunately, the only way i could get access was by going to ST directly.
First link, page 99 says: " armv7m instruction set"
The chapter after that even includes instruction encoding.
Maybe you were looking for something else?
