B FPU Instruction Set Details




Format:

CVT.S.fmt fd, fs

Description:

The contents of the floating-point register specified by fs are interpreted in the specified source format, fmt, and arithmetically converted to the single binary floating-point format. The result is placed in the floating-point register specified by fd. Rounding occurs according to the currently specified rounding mode.

This instruction is valid only for conversions from double floating-point format, or from 32-bit or 64-bit fixed-point format. The operation is not defined if bit 0 of any register specification is set and the FR bit in the Status register equals zero, since the register numbers specify an even-odd pair of adjacent coprocessor general registers. When the FR bit in the Status register equals one, both even and odd register numbers are valid.

Operation:

Exceptions:

Coprocessor unusable exception
Floating-Point exception

Coprocessor Exceptions:

Invalid operation exception
Unimplemented operation exception
Inexact exception
Overflow exception
Underflow exception
