SXTB{cond} {Rd}, Rm {,rotation}

where:

cond

is an optional condition code.

Rd

is the destination register.

Rm

is the register holding the value to extend.

rotation

is one of:

ROR #8

Value from Rm is rotated right 8 bits.

ROR #16

ROR #24

Value from Rm is rotated right 24 bits.

If rotation is omitted, no rotation is performed.

Operation

This instruction does the following:

  1. Rotates the value from Rm right by 0, 8, 16 or 24 bits.

  2. Extracts bits[7:0] from the value obtained.

  3. Sign extends to 32 bits.

Register restrictions

You cannot use PC for any operand.

You can use SP in A32 instructions but this is deprecated. You cannot use SP in T32 instructions.

Condition flags

This instruction does not change the flags.

16-bit instructions

The following form of this instruction is available in T32 code, and is a 16-bit instruction:

SXTB Rd, Rm

Rd and Rm must both be Lo registers.
