8.5.43. divu

Instruction divide unsigned
Operation

rC ←  rA ÷ rB

Assembler Syntax

divu rC, rA, rB

Example

divu r6, r7, r8

Description

Treating rA and rB as unsigned integers, this instruction divides rA by rB and then stores the integer portion of the resulting quotient to rC. After attempted division by zero, the value of rC is undefined. There is no divide-by-zero exception.

Nios® II processors that do not implement the divu instruction cause an unimplemented instruction exception.

Usage

Remainder of Division:

If the result of the division is defined, then the remainder can be computed in rD using the following instruction sequence:

divu rC, rA, rB

mul rD, rC, rB

sub rD, rA, rD

# The original divu operation

# rD = remainder

Exceptions

Division error

Unimplemented instruction

Instruction Type

R

Instruction Fields

A = Register index of operand rA

B = Register index of operand rB
