prs.rC ← rA
wrprs rC, rA
wrprs r6, r7
Copies the value of rA in the current register set to rC in the previous register set. This
instruction can set r0 to 0 in a shadow register set.
The previous register set is specified by status.PRS. By default, status.PRS indicates
the register set in use before an exception, such as an external interrupt, caused a
register set change.
To write to an arbitrary register set, software can insert the desired register set number in
status.PRS prior to executing wrprs.
System software must use wrprs to initialize r0 to 0 in each shadow register set before using
that register set.
If shadow register sets are not implemented on the Nios II core, wrprs is an illegal instruction.
