8.5.76. rdprs

Instruction read from previous register set
Operation

rB ←  prs.rA + σ(IMM16)

Assembler Syntax

rdprs rB, rA, IMM16

Example

rdprs r6, r7, 0

Description

Sign-extends the 16-bit immediate value IMM16 to 32 bits, and adds it to the value of rA from the previous register set. Places the result in rB in the current register set.

Usage

The previous register set is specified by status.PRS. By default, status.PRS indicates the register set in use before an exception, such as an external interrupt, caused a register set change.

To read from an arbitrary register set, software can insert the desired register set number in status.PRS prior to executing rdprs.

If shadow register sets are not implemented on the Nios II core, rdprs is an illegal instruction.

Exceptions

Supervisor-only instruction

Illegal instruction

Instruction Type

I
