  13. Register File of PicoBlaze-6 • Instructions • REGBANK A • REGBANK B • used to switch between banks • Only one set of flags • Z, C, I • Very useful for • interrupt service routines

  14. Definition of Flags Flags are set or reset after ALU operations Zero flag - Z zero condition Z = 1 if result = 0 0 otherwise overflow, underflow, or various conditions Carry flag - C Example* C = 1 if result > 28-1 (for addition) or result < 0 (for subtraction) 0 otherwise *Applies only to addition or subtraction related instructions, refer to the following slides otherwise
