Description
Branch and link to the instruction located at address value in IMM, sign-extended to 32 bits. The
current value of PC will be stored in rD. The BIP flag in the MSR will be set, except in case of a Software
Break, and the reservation bit will be cleared.
When MicroBlaze is configured to use an MMU (C_USE_MMU >= 1) this instruction is privileged,
except as a special case when "brki rD, C_BASE_VECTORS+0x8" or "brki rD,
C_BASE_VECTORS+0x18" is used to perform a Software Break. This means that, apart from the
special case, if the instruction is attempted in User Mode (MSR[UM] = 1) a Privileged Instruction
exception occurs.
As a special case, when MicroBlaze is configured to use an MMU (C_USE_MMU >= 1) and "brki rD,
C_BASE_VECTORS+0x8" or "brki rD, C_BASE_VECTORS+0x18" is used to perform a Software
Break, the Machine Status Register bits User Mode and Virtual Mode are cleared.

Registers Altered
• rD, unless an exception is generated, in which case the register is unchanged
• PC
• MSR[BIP], MSR[UM], MSR[VM]
• ESR[EC], in case a privileged instruction exception is generated
