A-100 MIPS R4000 Microprocessor User's Manual
Format:
LWCz rt, offset(base)
Description:
The 16-bit offset is sign-extended and added to the contents of general
register base to form a virtual address. The processor reads a word from
the addressed memory location, and makes the data available to
coprocessor unit z.
The manner in which each coprocessor uses the data is defined by the
individual coprocessor specifications.
If either of the two least-significant bits of the effective address is non-zero,
an address error exception occurs.
This instruction is not valid for use with CP0.
*See the table “Opcode Bit Encoding” on next page, or “CPU Instruction
Opcode Bit Encoding” at the end of Appendix A.
