2.1 CPU Instruction Formats

Coprocessor Instructions

Coprocessor instructions perform operations in their respective coprocessors. Coprocessor loads and stores are I-type, and coprocessor computational instructions have coprocessor-dependent formats.

Individual coprocessor instructions are described in Appendices A (for CP0) and B (for the FPU, CP1).

CP0 instructions perform operations specifically on the System Control Coprocessor registers to manipulate the memory management and exception handling facilities of the processor. Appendix A details CP0 instructions.
