Description
The mtocrf instruction copies the contents of source general-purpose register (GPR) RS into the condition register under the control of field mask FXM.
Field mask FXM is defined as follows:
Bit | Description |
---|---|
12 | CR 00-03 is updated with the contents of GPR RS 00-03. |
13 | CR 04-07 is updated with the contents of GPR RS 04-07. |
14 | CR 08-11 is updated with the contents of GPR RS 08-11. |
15 | CR 12-15 is updated with the contents of GPR RS 12-15. |
16 | CR 16-19 is updated with the contents of GPR RS 16-19. |
17 | CR 20-23 is updated with the contents of GPR RS 20-23. |
18 | CR 24-27 is updated with the contents of GPR RS 24-27. |
19 | CR 28-31 is updated with the contents of GPR RS 28-31. |
The mtocrf instruction has one syntax form and does not affect the Fixed-Point Exception Register.
Parameters
Item | Description |
---|---|
FXM | Specifies field mask. |
RS | Specifies source general-purpose register for operation. |
Examples
The following code copies bits 00-03 of GPR 5 into Condition Register Field 0:
# Assume GPR 5 contains 0x7542 FFEE.
# Use the mask for Condition Register
# Field 0 (0x80 = b'1000 0000').
mtocrf 0x80,5
# Condition Register Field 0 now contains b'0111'.
