LDB *+baseR[src1], dst | 101 0101 | Load byte (sign-extended) |
LDBU *+baseR[src1], dst | 101 0011 | Load byte unsigned (zero-extended) |
Loads a byte (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 bytes) 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 0 bits. 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 8 LSBs of dst. For the LDB instruction, the upper 24 bits of dst are sign-extended; for the LDBU instruction, the upper 24 bits of dst are zero-extended.
