PowerPC For Dummies: A simplified guide to understanding the PowerPC Instruction Set

[JimmyKazakhstan]

Thanks again!

Code:

No worries at all. I like teaching people this stuff as long as they are truly willing to learn and put in the work

Yeah this is me, I'm more than willing to learn things if I'm able to understand enough of it. Would you mind in the future if I ask you more questions about certain instructions before I add them on the guide here?

Anyways I have 2 final questions.


1. 

Code:

2. Update and Indexed is simply the combination of both.

Let's break down a simple stwx instruction first

Thanks for this example, but would you mind making one for lwzx/lwzxu? I want to try and learn the "Load" instruction types before the store ones.


2.
This isn't on the guide, but it's a question I have.
Apparently there's an instruction called "blrl" (Branch to Link Register + Link). Do you know anything about how this instruction works? Or would I ever need to use it in a code? I'm just wondering about it.
