1 The following describes the current state of the NetWinder's floating point
4 In the following nomenclature is used to describe the floating point
5 instructions. It follows the conventions in the ARM manual.
7 <S|D|E> = <single|double|extended>, no default
8 {P|M|Z} = {round to +infinity,round to -infinity,round to zero},
9 default = round to nearest

13 Floating Point Coprocessor Data Transfer Instructions (CPDT)
14 ------------------------------------------------------------
16 LDF/STF - load and store floating
18 <LDF|STF>{cond}<S|D|E> Fd, Rn
19 <LDF|STF>{cond}<S|D|E> Fd, [Rn, #<expression>]{!}
20 <LDF|STF>{cond}<S|D|E> Fd, [Rn], #<expression>
22 These instructions are fully implemented.
24 LFM/SFM - load and store multiple floating
27 <LFM|SFM>{cond}<S|D|E> Fd, <count>, [Rn]
28 <LFM|SFM>{cond}<S|D|E> Fd, <count>, [Rn, #<expression>]{!}
29 <LFM|SFM>{cond}<S|D|E> Fd, <count>, [Rn], #<expression>
32 <LFM|SFM>{cond}<FD,EA> Fd, <count>, [Rn]{!}
34 These instructions are fully implemented. They store/load three words
35 for each floating point register into the memory location given in the
36 instruction. The format in memory is unlikely to be compatible with
37 other implementations, in particular the actual hardware. Specific
38 mention of this is made in the ARM manuals.
40 Floating Point Coprocessor Register Transfer Instructions (CPRT)
41 ----------------------------------------------------------------
43 Conversions, read/write status/control register instructions
45 FLT{cond}<S,D,E>{P,M,Z} Fn, Rd Convert integer to floating point
46 FIX{cond}{P,M,Z} Rd, Fn Convert floating point to integer
47 WFS{cond} Rd Write floating point status register
48 RFS{cond} Rd Read floating point status register
49 WFC{cond} Rd Write floating point control register
50 RFC{cond} Rd Read floating point control register
52 FLT/FIX are fully implemented.
54 RFS/WFS are fully implemented.
56 RFC/WFC are fully implemented. RFC/WFC are supervisor only instructions, and
57 presently check the CPU mode, and do an invalid instruction trap if not called
62 CMF{cond} Fn, Fm Compare floating
63 CMFE{cond} Fn, Fm Compare floating with exception
64 CNF{cond} Fn, Fm Compare negated floating
65 CNFE{cond} Fn, Fm Compare negated floating with exception
67 These are fully implemented.
69 Floating Point Coprocessor Data Instructions (CPDT)
70 ---------------------------------------------------
74 ADF{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - add
75 SUF{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - subtract
76 RSF{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - reverse subtract
77 MUF{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - multiply
78 DVF{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - divide
79 RDV{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - reverse divide
81 These are fully implemented.
83 FML{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - fast multiply
84 FDV{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - fast divide
85 FRD{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - fast reverse divide
87 These are fully implemented as well. They use the same algorithm as the
88 non-fast versions. Hence, in this implementation their performance is
89 equivalent to the MUF/DVF/RDV instructions. This is acceptable according
90 to the ARM manual. The manual notes these are defined only for single
91 operands, on the actual FPA11 hardware they do not work for double or
92 extended precision operands. The emulator currently does not check
93 the requested permissions conditions, and performs the requested operation.
95 RMF{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - IEEE remainder
97 This is fully implemented.
101 MVF{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - move
102 MNF{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - move negated
104 These are fully implemented.
106 ABS{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - absolute value
107 SQT{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - square root
108 RND{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - round
110 These are fully implemented.
112 URD{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - unnormalized round
113 NRM{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - normalize
115 These are implemented. URD is implemented using the same code as the RND
116 instruction. Since URD cannot return a unnormalized number, NRM becomes
121 POW{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - power
122 RPW{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - reverse power
123 POL{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - polar angle (arctan2)
125 LOG{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - logarithm to base 10
126 LGN{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - logarithm to base e
127 EXP{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - exponent
128 SIN{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - sine
129 COS{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - cosine
130 TAN{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - tangent
131 ASN{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - arcsine
132 ACS{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - arccosine
133 ATN{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - arctangent
135 These are not implemented. They are not currently issued by the compiler,
136 and are handled by routines in libc. These are not implemented by the FPA11
137 hardware, but are handled by the floating point support code. They should
138 be implemented in future versions.
142 Signals are implemented. However current ELF kernels produced by Corel
143 Computer have a bug in them that prevents the module from generating a
144 SIGFPE. This is caused by a failure to alias fp_current to the kernel
145 variable current_set[0] correctly.
147 The kernel provided with this distribution (vmlinux-nwfpe-0.93) contains
148 a fix for this problem and also incorporates the current version of the
149 emulator directly. It is possible to run with no floating point module
150 loaded with this kernel. It is provided as a demonstration of the
151 technology and for those who want to do floating point work that depends
152 on signals. It is not strictly necessary to use the module.
154 A module (either the one provided by Russell King, or the one in this
155 distribution) can be loaded to replace the functionality of the emulator
156 built into the kernel.
