LWL

Load Word Left (cont.)

LWL

It is alright to put a load instruction that uses the same rt as the LWL instruction immediately before LWL (or LWR). The contents of general-purpose register rt are bypassed internally in the processor, eliminating the need for a NOP between the two instructions.

No Address Error instruction is raised due to misalignment.

Operation :

T:vAddr ((offset15)16 offset15..0) + GPR[base]

(pAddr, uncached) AddressTranslation (vAddr, DATA) pAddr pAddr31..2 (pAddr1..0 xor ReverseEndian2)

if BigEndianMem = 0 then pAddr pAddrPSIZE-31..2 02

endif

byte vAddr1..0 xor BigEndianCPU2

mem LoadMemory (uncached, byte, pAddr, vAddr, DATA)

GPR[rt] mem7+8*byte..0 GPR[rt]23-8*byte..0

Exceptions :

UTLB Refill exception (reserved)

TLB Refill exception (reserved)

Address Error exception
