LDRD (immediate)

Load Register Dual (immediate) calculates an address from a base register value and an immediate offset, loads two words from memory, and writes them to two registers. It can use offset, post-indexed, or pre-indexed addressing. For information about memory accesses see Memory accesses.

It has encodings from the following instruction sets: A32 ( A1 ) and T32 ( T1 ) .

Assembler Symbols

<c>

See Standard assembler syntax fields.

<q>

See Standard assembler syntax fields.

<Rt>

For encoding A1: is the first general-purpose register to be transferred, encoded in the "Rt" field. This register must be even-numbered and not R14.

For encoding T1: is the first general-purpose register to be transferred, encoded in the "Rt" field.

<Rt2>

For encoding A1: is the second general-purpose register to be transferred. This register must be <R(t+1)>.

For encoding T1: is the second general-purpose register to be transferred, encoded in the "Rt2" field.

<Rn>

Is the general-purpose base register, encoded in the "Rn" field. For PC use see LDRD (literal).

+/-

Specifies the offset is added to or subtracted from the base register, defaulting to + if omitted and encoded in U:

U +/-
0 -
1 +
<imm>

For encoding A1: is the 8-bit unsigned immediate byte offset, in the range 0 to 255, defaulting to 0 if omitted, and encoded in the "imm4H:imm4L" field.

For encoding T1: is the unsigned immediate byte offset, a multiple of 4, in the range 0 to 1020, defaulting to 0 if omitted, and encoded in the "imm8" field as <imm>/4.

Operation

if ConditionPassed() then EncodingSpecificOperations(); constant offset_addr = if add then (R[n] + imm32) else (R[n] - imm32); constant address = if index then offset_addr else R[n]; if IsAligned(address, 8) then constant data = MemA[address,8]; if BigEndian(AccessType_GPR) then R[t] = data<63:32>; R[t2] = data<31:0>; else R[t] = data<31:0>; R[t2] = data<63:32>; else R[t] = MemA[address,4]; R[t2] = MemA[address+4,4]; if wback then R[n] = offset_addr;

Operational information

If CPSR.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored.
