Load-Acquire RCpc Register Byte (unscaled) calculates an address from a base register and an immediate offset, loads a byte from memory, zero-extends it, and writes it to a register.
The instruction has memory ordering semantics as described in Load-Acquire, Load-AcquirePC, and Store-Release, except that:
This difference in memory ordering is not described in the pseudocode.
For information about memory accesses, see Load/Store addressing modes.

<Wt> |
Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose register to be transferred, encoded in the "Rt" field. |
<Xn|SP> |
Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose base register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field. |
<simm> |
Is the optional signed immediate byte offset, in the range -256 to 255, defaulting to 0 and encoded in the "imm9" field. |

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