I don't know Reads166, but it is defninitely not the fault of the assembler.

I am pretty sure, that there is no such instruction available on a C16x CPU.
The correct version of the instruction would be something like
   mov 0xAAAA, R3
assuming that DPP2 contains the correct value.
I don't know the meaning of the second operand in your example.

What disassembler are you using that produces these funny mnemonics?
Are there any options to tell him that it should use the C16x
instruction set?

Best regards
Gerhard
