Load register byte (unscaled)
This instruction 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. For information about addressing modes, see Load/Store addressing modes.

let offset : bits(64) = SignExtend{}(imm9);
| <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. |
let n : integer = UInt(Rn); let t : integer = UInt(Rt); let datasize : integer{} = 8; let nontemporal : boolean = FALSE; let tagchecked : boolean = n != 31;
var address : bits(64); let privileged : boolean = PSTATE.EL != EL0; let accdesc : AccessDescriptor = CreateAccDescGPR(MemOp_LOAD, nontemporal, privileged, tagchecked, t); if n == 31 then CheckSPAlignment(); address = SP{64}(); else address = X{64}(n); end; address = AddressAdd(address, offset, accdesc); let data : bits(datasize) = Mem{datasize}(address, accdesc); X{32}(t) = ZeroExtend{32}(data);
This instruction is a data-independent-time instruction as described in About PSTATE.DIT.
