 Inline Assembly
 ===============
+
+This document provides guidelines for using inline assembly in Rust code...
+
+.. guideline:: All usage of inline assembly must be thoroughly documented   
+   :id: gui_vZE9kLPQ7m93
+   :status: draft
+   :fls: fls_z1il3w9nulzy
+   :tags: security, reduce-human-error, readability 
+   :category: 
+   :recommendation: required 
+
+   .. note::
+      **MISRA Reference** 
+      All usage of assembly code must be documented, including the purpose, inputs, outputs, side effects, and safety considerations.
+
+   .. rationale:: 
+      :id: rat_Rb0kktvGhbVk
+      :status: draft
+
+      Inline assembly can introduce undefined behavior if not properly documented.  
+      - If the assembly fails to execute correctly, the return value may be uninitialized, leading to unpredictable results.
+      - Functions that assume success without error handling can cause silent failures in production.
+      - Without clear comments, maintainers may misuse the function, leading to integration errors or security issues.
+
+   .. bad_example:: 
+      :id: bad_ex_V1rThIfyrmTQ
+      :status: draft
+
+      The following code is **non-compliant** with THE guidelines because:
+      - It does not specify `nomem` and `nostack` constraints.
+      - The return value `result` might be uninitialized if the inline assembly fails.
+      - It lacks documentation, making it hard to maintain.
+
+      .. code-block:: rust
+
+         pub fn bad_add_asm(a: u32, b: u32) -> u32 {
+             let result: u32;
+             unsafe {
+                 asm!(
+                     "add {0}, {1}, {2}",
+                     out(reg) result,
+                     in(reg) a,
+                     in(reg) b
+                 );
+             }
+             result // Possible UB: result might be uninitialized if asm fails
+         }
+
+   .. good_example:: 
+      :id: good_ex_tDWewxl8qUE4
+      :status: draft
+
+      .. note::
+         The following example adheres to THE guidelines by ensuring:
+         - The use of `options(nomem, nostack)` to prevent unexpected memory modifications.
+         - Proper inline documentation to describe inputs, outputs, and safety considerations.
+
+      .. code-block:: rust
+
+         /// # Safe Inline Assembly Addition
+         ///
+         /// This function takes two `u32` values and returns their sum using inline assembly.
+         /// - Adheres to Rust guidelines (structured, documented, and avoids undefined behavior).
+         /// - Uses explicit register constraints to prevent side effects.
+         ///
+         /// ## Safety Considerations:
+         /// - Inline assembly is carefully constrained to avoid modifying unintended registers.
+         /// - No undefined behavior (e.g., no division by zero, out-of-range values).
+         ///
+         /// # Arguments:
+         /// - `a`: First operand.
+         /// - `b`: Second operand.
+         ///
+         /// # Returns:
+         /// - Sum of `a` and `b` (`u32`).
+         ///
+         /// # Example:
+         /// ```
+         /// let result = add_asm(2, 3);
+         /// assert_eq!(result, 5);
+         /// ```
+         #[inline(always)]
+         pub fn add_asm(a: u32, b: u32) -> u32 {
+             let result: u32;
+             unsafe {
+                 asm!(
+                     "add {0}, {1}, {2}", // ARM syntax: add result, a, b
+                     out(reg) result,     // Output operand
+                     in(reg) a,           // Input operand a
+                     in(reg) b,           // Input operand b
+                     options(nomem, nostack) // Ensures no memory or stack modifications
+                 );
