BGE as, at, label

Description

(please consult the Xtensa ® Instruction Set Architecture Reference Manual for any cross references and additional information)

BGE branches if address register as is two's complement greater than or equal to address register at.

The target instruction address of the branch is given by the address of the BGE instruction, plus the sign-extended 8-bit imm8 field of the instruction plus four. If the address register as is less than address register at, execution continues with the next sequential instruction.

The inverse of BGE is BLT.

Operation

if AR[s] >= AR[t] then
	nextPC ← PC + (imm8724||imm8) + 4
endif
