RISC-V Instruction Set Reference

This document contains a brief listing of instructions and pseudocode for the RISC-V “I” (Integer) and “M” (Multiply-Divide) extensions. The RISC-V Assembler Reference contains information on programming in assembly language for RISC-V. For detailed information on the instruction set refer to the RISC-V ISA Specification.

The following notation is used in the psuedocode:

Notation Description
pc program counter
rd integer register destination
rsN integer register source N
imm immediate operand value
offset immediate program counter relative offset
ux(reg) unsigned XLEN-bit integer (32-bit on RV32, 64-bit on RV64)
sx(reg) signed XLEN-bit integer (32-bit on RV32, 64-bit on RV64)
uN(reg) zero extended N-bit integer register value
sN(reg) sign extended N-bit integer register value
uN[reg + imm] unsigned N-bit memory reference
sN[reg + imm] signed N-bit memory reference

The following tables list the RISC-V RV32IM and RV64IM instructions.
