BRB

Branch Record Buffer. For more information, see op0==0b01, cache maintenance, TLB maintenance, and address translation instructions.

This is an alias of SYS. This means:

System

BRB <brb_op>{, <Xt>}

is equivalent to

SYS #1, C7, C2, #<op2>{, <Xt>}

and is the preferred disassembly when SysOp('001','0111','0010',op2) == Sys_BRB.

Assembler Symbols
