Table 2.9 describes the branching instructions. Figure 2.8 shows their object code formats.
Table 2.9 Branching Instructions
Instruction Size Function
Bcc —
Branches to the designated address if condition cc is true. The
branching conditions are given below.
Mnemonic Description Condition
BRA (BT) Always (true) Always
BRN (BF) Never (false) Never
BHI High C ∨ Z = 0
BLS Low or same C ∨ Z = 1
BCC (BHS) Carry clear (high or same) C = 0
BCS (BLO) Carry set (low) C = 1
BNE Not equal Z = 0
BEQ Equal Z = 1
BVC Overflow clear V = 0
BVS Overflow set V = 1
BPL Plus N = 0
BMI Minus N = 1
BGE Greater or equal N ⊕ V = 0
BLT Less than N ⊕ V = 1
BGT Greater than Z ∨ (N ⊕ V) = 0
BLE Less or equal Z ∨ (N ⊕ V) = 1
JMP — Branches unconditionally to a specified address
BSR — Branches to a subroutine at a specified address
JSR — Branches to a subroutine at a specified address
RTS — Returns from a subroutine
