Unaligned Load Word Unsigned (uldwu)

Syntax

uldwu $d_reg, address

Description

Unaligned Load Word Unsigned loads the two least significant bytes of the destination register with the word at the specified address. The address does not have to be aligned on a 2-byte boundary, it can be any byte address. Because the loaded word is an unsigned value, the other bytes of the destination register are cleared to zeros.

Note   The assembler destroys the contents of temporary registers $at, $t9, and $t10 for this instruction.
