Sign-extend halfword

This instruction is defined by:

Encoding

Synopsis

This instruction sign-extends the least-significant halfword in the source to XLEN by copying the most-significant bit in the halfword (i.e., bit 15) to all of the more-significant bits.

Access

Always

Decode Variables

Bits<5> rs1 = $encoding[19:15];
Bits<5> rd = $encoding[11:7];

Execution

Pruned, XLEN == 64
