Hi All,

I was unable find a description of a PPC405 instruction "blrl". It
looks like a branch, but I never found it in the
manuals like UG11. The instruction use can be found in e.g.
edk_root/sw/lib/bsp/xilkernel_v4_00_a/src/syscall/arch/ppc405/
mksyscall.S

Thanks,
Andrew

Google says:
branch to the contents of the link register.

Thanks Scott.

I have to apologize here, after doing a search of the pdf (that same
UG11) I found the acronym. It is in fact a simplified form
of bclrl, and means Branch to Link Register and Link. I actually knew
that there are simplified mnemonics are utilized along
with complete ones in the PPC, but apparently my experience is short
so far. The problem's solved.

Thanks again,
Andrew
