STRB (immediate)

Store Register Byte (immediate) calculates an address from a base register value and an immediate offset, and stores a byte from a register to memory. 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 , T2 and T3 ) .

Assembler Symbols

<c>

See Standard assembler syntax fields.

<q>

See Standard assembler syntax fields.

<Rt>

Is the general-purpose register to be transferred, encoded in the "Rt" field.

<Rn>

For encoding A1: is the general-purpose base register, encoded in the "Rn" field. The PC can be used in the offset variant, but this is deprecated.

For encoding T1, T2 and T3: is the general-purpose base register, encoded in the "Rn" field.

+/-

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

U +/-
0 -
1 +
+

Specifies the offset is added to the base register.

<imm>

For encoding A1: is the 12-bit unsigned immediate byte offset, in the range 0 to 4095, defaulting to 0 if omitted, and encoded in the "imm12" field.

For encoding T1: is an optional 5-bit unsigned immediate byte offset, in the range 0 to 31, defaulting to 0 and encoded in the "imm5" field.

For encoding T2: is an optional 12-bit unsigned immediate byte offset, in the range 0 to 4095, defaulting to 0 and encoded in the "imm12" field.

For encoding T3: is an 8-bit unsigned immediate byte offset, in the range 0 to 255, defaulting to 0 if omitted, and encoded in the "imm8" field.

Operation

if CurrentInstrSet() == InstrSet_A32 then 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]; MemU[address,1] = R[t]<7:0>; if wback then R[n] = offset_addr; else 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]; MemU[address,1] = R[t]<7:0>; 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.
