LDRB (register)

Load Register Byte (register) calculates an address from a base register value and an offset register value, loads a byte from memory, zero-extends it, and writes it to a register. For information about memory accesses, see Load/Store addressing modes.

Extended register (option != 011)

LDRB <Wt>, [<Xn|SP>, (<Wm>|<Xm>), <extend> {<amount>}]

Shifted register (option == 011)

LDRB <Wt>, [<Xn|SP>, <Xm>{, LSL <amount>}]

if option<1> == '0' then UNDEFINED; // sub-word index ExtendType extend_type = DecodeRegExtend(option);

Assembler Symbols

<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.

<Wm>

When option<0> is set to 0, is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose index register, encoded in the "Rm" field.

<Xm>

When option<0> is set to 1, is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose index register, encoded in the "Rm" field.

<extend>

Is the index extend specifier, encoded in option:

option <extend>
010 UXTW
110 SXTW
111 SXTX
<amount>

Is the index shift amount, it must be #0, encoded in "S" as 0 if omitted, or as 1 if present.

Shared Decode

integer n = UInt(Rn); integer t = UInt(Rt); integer m = UInt(Rm);

Operation

bits(64) offset = ExtendReg(m, extend_type, 0, 64); bits(64) address; bits(8) data; boolean privileged = PSTATE.EL != EL0; AccessDescriptor accdesc = CreateAccDescGPR(MemOp_LOAD, FALSE, privileged, TRUE); if n == 31 then CheckSPAlignment(); address = SP[]; else address = X[n, 64]; address = GenerateAddress(address, offset, accdesc); data = Mem[address, 1, accdesc]; X[t, 32] = ZeroExtend(data, 32);

Operational information

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