How does the processor pipeline handle instruction fetch latency?
In Cortex M0/M3 processors, with a single memory space for both instructions and data accessed via the memory bus, how can the processor handle data reads (e.g., for load/store instructions) if the bus is continually busy fetching instructions? How does the processor pipeline handle instruction fetch latency, and what mechanisms are in place to manage execution if instruction fetches take more than one cycle?
