lw

Load word

Load 32 bits of data into register xd from an address formed by adding xs1 to a signed offset. Sign extend the result.

Assembly format

lw xd, imm(xs1)

Decode Variables

signed Bits<12> imm = sext($encoding[31:20], 12);
Bits<5> xs1 = $encoding[19:15];
Bits<5> xd = $encoding[11:7];

Execution

XReg virtual_address = X[xs1] + $signed(imm);
X[xd] = sext(read_memory(32, virtual_address, $encoding), 32);
