Encoding

svg

Assembly format

divw rd, rs1, rs2

Synopsis

Divide the lower 32-bits of register rs1 by the lower 32-bits of register rs2, and store the sign-extended result in rd.

The remainder is discarded.

Division by zero will put -1 into rd.

Division resulting in signed overflow (when most negative number is divided by -1) will put the most negative number into rd;

  raise(ExceptionCode::IllegalInstruction, mode(), $encoding);
}
Bits<32> src1 = X[rs1][31:0];

  X[rd] = {XLEN{1'b1}};
} else if ((src1 == {33'b1, 31'b0}) && (src2 == 32'b1)) {
  X[rd] = {33'b1, 31'b0};
