FMOV (vector, immediate)

Floating-point move immediate (vector)

This instruction copies an immediate floating-point constant into every element of the SIMD&FP destination 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.

It has encodings from 2 classes: Half-precision and Single-precision and double-precision

Encoding

FMOV <Vd>.<T>, #<imm>

Decode for this encoding

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_AdvSIMD) || !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_FP16) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; let rd : integer = UInt(Rd); let datasize : integer{} = 64 << UInt(Q); let imm8 : bits(8) = a::b::c::d::e::f::g::h; let imm16 : bits(16) = imm8[7]::NOT(imm8[6])::Replicate{2}(imm8[6])::imm8[5:0]::Zeros{6}; let imm : bits(datasize) = Replicate{}(imm16);

Single-precision and double-precision
(FEAT_AdvSIMD)

Encoding for the Single-precision variant

Applies when (op == 0)

FMOV <Vd>.<T>, #<imm>

Encoding for the Double-precision variant

Applies when (Q == 1 && op == 1)

FMOV <Vd>.2D, #<imm>

Decode for all variants of this encoding

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_AdvSIMD) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; if cmode::op == '11111' then // FMOV Dn,#imm is in main FP instruction set if Q == '0' then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; end; let rd : integer = UInt(Rd); let datasize : integer{} = 64 << UInt(Q); let imm64 : bits(64) = AdvSIMDExpandImm(op, cmode, a::b::c::d::e::f::g::h); let imm : bits(datasize) = Replicate{}(imm64);

Assembler Symbols

<Vd>

Is the name of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<T>

For the "Half-precision" variant: is an arrangement specifier, encoded in Q:

Q <T>
0 4H
1 8H

For the "Single-precision" variant: is an arrangement specifier, encoded in Q:

Q <T>
0 2S
1 4S
<imm>

Is a signed floating-point constant with 3-bit exponent and normalized 4 bits of precision, encoded in "a:b:c:d:e:f:g:h". For details of the range of constants available and the encoding of <imm>, see Modified immediate constants in A64 floating-point instructions.
