difference between ebp and bp

Hi,

I'm totally new to assembler code for ARM. I've ever programmed a coldfire but I've forgot lots of it.

now I have to program some performance sensitive things in C, so inline assembler should be suggested.
I'm using the MIRACL C library, it isn't very documented and it's totaly not surveyable, so I'm just going to take a piece of the assembler code...

Dependent on what is defined in the header-files,
they use
"push ebp"
...or otherwise they
"use bp"
what's the difference between these two statements ?
