MOVI

Move immediate (vector)

This instruction places an immediate constant into every vector element of the destination SIMD&FP register.

Depending on the settings in the CPACR_EL1, CPTR_EL2, and CPTR_EL3 registers, and the current Security state and Exception level, an attempt to execute the instruction might be trapped.

Encoding: Advanced SIMD

Variants: FEAT_AdvSIMD (ARMv8.0)

Decoding algorithm

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_AdvSIMD) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF);
constant integer rd = UInt(Rd);
constant integer datasize = 64 << UInt(Q);
constant bits(64) imm64 = AdvSIMDExpandImm(op, cmode, a:b:c:d:e:f:g:h);
constant bits(datasize) imm = Replicate(imm64, datasize DIV 64);

Operation

CheckFPAdvSIMDEnabled64();
V[rd, datasize] = imm;

Explanations

<Vd>: Is the name of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.
<T>: <T>: <T>: <imm8>: Is an 8-bit immediate encoded in "a:b:c:d:e:f:g:h".
<amount>: <amount>: <amount>: <Dd>: Is the 64-bit name of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.
<imm>: Is a 64-bit immediate 'aaaaaaaabbbbbbbbccccccccddddddddeeeeeeeeffffffffgggggggghhhhhhhh', encoded in "a:b:c:d:e:f:g:h".

Operational Notes

If PSTATE.DIT is 1:

• The execution time of this instruction is independent of:
  • The values of the data supplied in any of its registers.
  • The values of the NZCV flags.
• The response of this instruction to asynchronous exceptions does not vary based on:
  • The values of the data supplied in any of its registers.
  • The values of the NZCV flags.
