Instructions
rted
Return from Exception
Description
Return from exception will branch to the location specified by the contents of rA plus the IMM field,
sign-extended to 32 bits. The instruction will also enable exceptions after execution.
This instruction always has a delay slot. The instruction following the RTED is always executed
before the branch target.
When MicroBlaze is configured to use an MMU (
C_USE_MMU
>= 1) this instruction is privileged.
This means that if the instruction is attempted in User Mode (
MSR[UM]
= 1) a Privileged Instruction
exception occurs.

Note
Convention is to use general purpose register r17 as rA. This instruction requires that one or more of
the MicroBlaze parameters
C_*_EXCEPTION
are set to 1 or that C_USE_MMU > 0.
A delay slot must not be used by the following: imm, branch, or break instructions. Interrupts and
external hardware breaks are deferred until after the delay slot branch has been completed.
The instruction should normally not be used when MSR[EE] is set, since if the instruction in the
delay slot would cause an exception, the exception handler would be entered with exceptions
enabled.
Note:
Code returning from an exception must first check if MSR[DS] is set, and in that case return
to the address in BTR.
