F1CVT, F2CVT

8-bit floating-point convert to half-precision

This instruction converts each even-numbered 8-bit floating-point element of the source vector to half-precision while downscaling the value, and places the results in the overlapping 16-bit elements of the destination vector. F1CVT scales the values by 2-UInt(FPMR.LSCALE[3:0]). F2CVT scales the values by 2-UInt(FPMR.LSCALE2[3:0]).

The 8-bit floating-point encoding format for F1CVT is selected by FPMR.F8S1. The 8-bit floating-point encoding format for F2CVT is selected by FPMR.F8S2.

This instruction is unpredicated.

It has encodings from 2 classes: F1CVT and F2CVT
