3.4.4 Register addressing
[Function]
In the register addressing mode, general-purpose registers are accessed as operands. The general-purpose
register to be accessed is specified by the register specification code or function name in the instruction code.
Register addressing is carried out when an instruction with the following operand format is executed. When
an 8-bit register is specified, one of the eight registers is specified with 3 bits in the instruction code.
[Operand format]
