+Ghidra imports little-endian ARM ELF files, including Cortex-M
+(`arm-none-eabi`) firmware, as `ARM:LE:32:v8`. That language defaults to ARM
+state, and its ELF loader marks code as Thumb only where `$t` mapping symbols
+or odd function-symbol addresses say so. Cortex-M cores run only Thumb code, so
+the gap matters mainly for code without those markers, such as stripped images
+and handlers reached only through the vector table. REA has no M-profile ARM
+lane. As an unverified interim, select an M-profile language, which decodes in
+Thumb state by default. For ARMv6-M, ARMv7-M and ARMv7E-M cores:
+
+```bash
+export REA_GHIDRA_LANGUAGE_ID="ARM:LE:32:Cortex"
+```
+
+For ARMv8-M cores, use `ARM:LE:32:v8-m` instead. REA has not verified either
+language for Cortex-M analysis. While the variable is set, it applies to every
+Ghidra import in the REA server:
+
+- raw-binary, DOS, GameCube DOL and PSP opens are refused, as are opens in
+  lanes that reject a different language, such as RISC-V;
+- REA asks Ghidra to import everything else in the selected ARM language,
+  including x86, x86-64, arm64, PowerPC and Hexagon ELF files and PE and
+  Mach-O files, because it does not check that the override's processor
+  matches the target.
+
+Restart REA without the variable before you analyze other targets. A future
+M-profile lane may refuse it; remove the setting then.

+The example maps a 32-bit ARM-state image at `0x8000`. For `arm`, decoding
+starts at the entry in ARM (A32) state, so Thumb-only images, including Cortex-M
+firmware, are not supported. See [Limitations](#limitations).
+
 `architecture` is one of `x86`, `x86_64`, `arm`, `arm64`, `6502`, or `m68k`. `entry_point` is a
 hexadecimal address of the form `0x…`. The complete file is mapped starting at
 that address, and Ghidra seeds an `entry` function there before auto-analysis.
