RSP Assembly Language

This chapter describes the RSP Assembly Language, as accepted by the
rspasm
assembler.
Although different in many fundamental ways, there are some similarities
"MIPSPro
with the MIPS assembly language, described in the document
Assembly Language Programmer's Guide"
(Order number 007-2418-001).
The reader is encouraged to be familiar with this document, as we will
occasionally use it as a frame of reference to describe the RSP assembly

The machine language format of the RSP instructions is based on the R4000
"MIPS R4000 Microprocessor
instruction set; the reader is referred to the
1
User's Manual"
for additional information.
