The instructions are 16 bit words. Most instructions use a single word, however, some of them use a second word to store an immediate 16-bit value.

The general format is as follows:

Bits 15-12 11-9 8-6 5-3 2-0
ContentsOpcode0Operand AOpcode1OPN Operand B
ContentsOpcode0Operand AOpcode16-bit Immediate

Special instructions

“Special” instructions are identified by Opcode0 = 0xF

Multiplication

Instruction Opcode0Operand AOpcode1 OPN Operand B
MAC (unsigned*signed) F Op.A 2 + (N ≥ 8) N & 7 Op.B
MAC (signed*signed) F Op.A 6 + (N ≥ 8) N & 7 Op.B
MUL (unsigned*signed) F Op.A 0 1 Op.B
MUL (signed*signed) F Op.A 4 1 Op.B

Note: Operand A and Operand B cannot be 0, 6 or 7 (it is not possible to multiply SP, SR or PC with something). They also can not be 3 or 4 in MAC (MR is used for intermediate results). If the size of the MAC operation is exactly 16, it will be stored as N=0.

CALL and GOTO

InstructionOpcode0Operand AOpcode16-bit Immediate Second word
CALL F ? 1 CS: value PC value
GOTO F 7 2 CS: value PC value

The target address is formed by the immediate6 value (for CS:) and another word after the instruction (for PC)

Interrupts

Instruction Opcode0Operand AOpcode16-bit Immediate
INT OFF F ? 5 00
INT IRQ F ? 5 01
INT FIQ F ? 5 02
INT IRQ,FIQ F ? 5 03
FIR_MOV ON F ? 5 04
FIR_MOV OFF F ? 5 05
IRQ OFF F ? 5 08
IRQ ON F ? 5 09
FIQ OFF F ? 5 0C
FIQ ON F ? 5 0E
BREAK F ? 5 20

FIXME probably other instructions (FRACTION, …) fit in here

Jump instructions

Jump instructions are identified by Operand A = 7 (makes sense, because they change the PC which is register 7)

Instruction Opcode0Operand AOpcode1 6-bit Immediate Condition
JB, JNAE, JCC 0 7 Direction Jump offset C = 0
JAE, JNB, JCS 1 7 Direction Jump offset C = 1
JGE, JNL, JSC 2 7 Direction Jump offset S = 0
JL, JNGE, JSS 3 7 Direction Jump offset S = 1
JNE, JNZ 4 7 Direction Jump offset Z = 0
JE, JZ 5 7 Direction Jump offset Z = 1
JPL 6 7 Direction Jump offset N = 0
JMI 7 7 Direction Jump offset N = 1
JBE, JNA 8 7 Direction Jump offset !(Z=0&C=1)
JA, JNBE 9 7 Direction Jump offset Z=0 & C=1
JLE, JNG A 7 Direction Jump offset !(Z=0&S=0)
JG, JNLE B 7 Direction Jump offset Z=0 & S=0
JVC C 7 Direction Jump offset N = S
JVS D 7 Direction Jump offset N != S
JMP E 7 Direction Jump offset Always
F 7 Reserved for special instructions

Opcode1 indicates the jump direction, and can be 0 (jump forward) or 1 (jump backward). The offset is counted from the opcode following the jump instruction, so an offset of 0 would jump to the next instruction (basically a NOP) while a offset of -1 (1 backwards) would be an infinite loop and a offset of (+1) would skip a single instruction.

Depending on opcode1, various addressing modes can be used:

Addressing mode Opcode0Operand AOpcode1 OPN Operand B Notes
[BP+Imm6] ALU op Op. A 0 6-bit immediate Op. A ≠ PC
#Imm6 ALU op Op. A 1 6-bit immediate Op. A ≠ PC
Special (POP, PUSH) 2
[Rs] ALU op Op. A 3 0 Rs
[Rs--] ALU op Op. A 3 1 Rs
[Rs++] ALU op Op. A 3 2 Rs
[++Rs] ALU op Op. A 3 3 Rs
D:[Rs] ALU op Op. A 3 4 Rs
D:[Rs--] ALU op Op. A 3 5 Rs
D:[Rs++] ALU op Op. A 3 6 Rs
D:[++Rs] ALU op Op. A 3 7 Rs
Rs ALU op Op. A 4 0 Rs
#Imm16 ALU op Op. A 4 1 Unused 16-bit immediate in next word
From [Addr16] ALU op Op. A 4 2 Unused 16-bit address in next word
To [Addr16] ALU op Op. A 4 3 Unused 16-bit address in next word
Rs ASR shift ALU op Op. A 4 4 + (shift - 1) Rs
Rs LSL shift ALU op Op. A 5 shift - 1 Rs
Rs LSR shift ALU op Op. A 5 4 + (shift - 1) Rs
Rs ROL shift ALU op Op. A 6 shift - 1 Rs
Rs ROR shift ALU op Op. A 6 4 + (shift - 1) Rs
[Addr6] ALU op Op. A 7 6-bit address

The instructions using Imm16 or Addr16 are 3-operand instructions, for example:

R3 = R2 + Imm16

naken_asm syntax:

ADD R3, R2, #Imm16

All other forms are 2-operand: operand A is always a register and used as both source and destination.

The LD operation uses operand A only as a target.

The ST operation uses the second source operand (Rs, address, …) as the target, and operand A (always a register) as the source.

Other operations can use both forms, so the “From [Addr16]” would be something like this:

R3 = R2 + [Addr16]

and the “To [Addr16]” corresponds to:

[Addr16] = R2 + R3

(so in this case the register encoded in OPA is used as a source, not a destination).

The LD and ST operations with the 16-bit addressing mode ignore the value of Rs, they use only Ra and the 16-bit value.
