LDH *+baseR[src1], dst | 101 0110 | Load halfword (sign-extended) |
LDHU *+baseR[src1], dst | 101 0100 | Load halfword unsigned (zero-extended) |
Loads a halfword (signed or unsigned) from memory (effective address) to dst. The memory address is formed from a base address register (baseR) and an offset (number of halfwords) that is a register (src1). If an offset is not given, the assembler assigns an offset of zero. Brackets, [ ],must surround the specified offset, if using the optional offset parameter.
The square brackets, [ ], indicate that the src1 is scaled by a left-shift of 1 bit. After scaling, src1 is added to baseR. The result of the calculation is the effective address to be accessed in memory and the content loaded into dst.
The content is loaded into the 16 LSBs of dst. For the LDH instruction, the upper 16 bits of dst are sign-extended; for the LDHU instruction, the upper 16 bits of dst are zero-extended.
Halfword addresses must be aligned on halfword (LSB is 0) boundaries.
