MOV (from general)

Move general-purpose register to a vector element

This instruction copies the contents of the source general-purpose register to the specified vector element in the destination SIMD&FP register.

This instruction can insert data into individual elements within a SIMD&FP register without clearing the remaining bits to zero.

Depending on the settings in the CPACR_EL1, CPTR_EL2, and CPTR_EL3 registers, and the current Security state and Exception level, an attempt to execute the instruction might be trapped.

This is an alias of INS (general). This means:

Advanced SIMD class

Encoding

MOV <Vd>.<Ts>[<index>], <R><n>

is equivalent to

INS <Vd>.<Ts>[<index>], <R><n>

and is always the preferred disassembly.

Assembler Symbols

<Vd>

Is the name of the SIMD&FP destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<Ts>

Is an element size specifier, encoded in imm5:

imm5 <Ts>
x0000 RESERVED
xxxx1 B
xxx10 H
xx100 S
x1000 D
<index>

Is the element index encoded in imm5:

imm5 <index>
x0000 RESERVED
xxxx1 UInt(imm5<4:1>)
xxx10 UInt(imm5<4:2>)
xx100 UInt(imm5<4:3>)
x1000 UInt(imm5<4>)
<R>

Is the width specifier for the general-purpose source register, encoded in imm5:

imm5 <R>
x0000 RESERVED
xxxx1 W
xxx10 W
xx100 W
x1000 X
<n>

Is the number [0-30] of the general-purpose source register or ZR (31), encoded in the "Rn" field.
