8.5.65. muli

Instruction multiply immediate
Operation

rB ←  (rA x σ(IMM16)) 31..0

Assembler Syntax

muli rB, rA, IMM16

Example

muli r6, r7, -100

Description

Sign-extends the 16-bit immediate value IMM16 to 32 bits and multiplies it by the value of rA. Stores the 32 low-order bits of the product to rB. The result is independent of whether rA is treated as a signed or unsigned number.

Nios® II processors that do not implement the muli instruction cause an unimplemented instruction exception.

Carry Detection and Overflow Detection:

For a discussion of carry and overflow detection, refer to the mul instruction.

Exceptions

Unimplemented instruction

Instruction Type

I
