MOVT
Move Top
Move Top writes an immediate value to the top halfword of the destination register. It does not affect the contents of the bottom halfword.
For more information about the constrained unpredictable behavior of this instruction, see Architectural Constraints on UNPREDICTABLE behaviors.
If CPSR.DIT is 1, this instruction has passed its condition execution check, and does not use R15 as either its source or destination:
The execution time of this instruction is independent of:The values of the data supplied in any of its registers.The values of the NZCV flags.
The response of this instruction to asynchronous exceptions does not vary based on:The values of the data supplied in any of its registers.The values of the NZCV flags.
It has encodings from the following instruction sets:
A32 (
A1
)
and
T32 (
T1
)
.

<Rd>
Is the general-purpose destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.
<imm16>
For encoding A1: is a 16-bit unsigned immediate, in the range 0 to 65535, encoded in the "imm4:imm12" field.
<imm16>
For encoding T1: is a 16-bit unsigned immediate, in the range 0 to 65535, encoded in the "imm4:i:imm3:imm8" field.
