Appendix A
A-108 MIPS R4000 Microprocessor User's Manual
Format:
LWU 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 contents of the word at the
memory location specified by the effective address are loaded into general
register rt. The loaded word is zero-extended.
If either of the two least-significant bits of the effective address is non-zero,
an address error exception occurs.
This operation is only defined for the R4000 operating in 64-bit mode.
Execution of this instruction in 32-bit mode causes a reserved instruction
exception.
Operation:
Exceptions:
TLB refill exception
TLB invalid exception
Bus error exception
Address error exception
Reserved instruction exception (R4000 in 32-bit mode)
