DO
ing the last instruction in the DO loop. Note that LF is the only bit in the status register
(SR) that is restored after a hardware DO loop has been exited.
Note: The loop flag (LF) is cleared by a hardware reset.
Restrictions: The "end-of-loop" comparison previously described actually occurs at
instruction fetch time. That is, LA is being compared with PC when the instruction at LA–
2 is being executed. Therefore, instructions which access the program controller regis-
ters and/or change program flow cannot be used in locations LA–2, LA–1, or LA.
Proper DO loop operation is not guaranteed if an instruction starting at address LA–2,
LA–1, or LA specifies one of the program controller registers SR, SP, SSL, LA, LC, or
(implicitly) PC as a destination register. Similarly, the SSH program controller register
may not be specified as a source or destination register in an instruction starting at
address LA–2, LA–1, or LA. Additionally, the SSH register cannot be specified as a
source register in the DO instruction itself and LA cannot be used as a target for jumps
to subroutine (i.e., JSR, JScc, JSSET, or JSCLR to LA). A DO instruction cannot be
repeated using the REP instruction.
The following instructions cannot begin at the indicated position(s) near the end of a DO
loop:
At LA–2, LA–1, and LA
At LA–1
