8.2. Instruction Opcodes

The OP field in the Nios II instruction word specifies the major class of an opcode as listed in the two tables below. Most values of OP are encodings for I-type instructions. One encoding, OP = 0x00, is the J-type instruction call. Another encoding, OP = 0x3a, is used for all R-type instructions, in which case, the OPX field differentiates the instructions. All undefined encodings of OP and OPX are reserved.
