I made these reference sheets because I found myself needing them and
apart from a MIPS32 quick reference I was unable to find any
instruction set references that would fit a single page and still have
all the details I wanted.
The purpose of these sheets are to get as much information as possible
in a few pages making it possible for someone who already knows the
architecture to have an overview of the instruction set.
I've also tried to use common syntaxes for the instruction descriptions
rather than following some architecture specific conventions to make
the sheets look consistent.
Instruction set of Intel 8086 including execution times for all
instructions. Also includes a quick help for using DOS DEBUG.
Note that this is a pure 8086 sheet, i.e. no instructions or features
added by later x86 processors are included.
Floating point instructions for 8087 are not included.
I was unable to find the execution time for SETALC instruction anywhere so the value listed is derived from testing on an actual CPU (Fujitsu MBL8086-2).
A32 and T32 instruction sets of ARM, including version information for ARM versions 6, 6T, 6k and 7. Also includes floating point and Advanced SIMD extensions and extra pages with system registers both for ARMv7-A/R and ARMv7-M.
A64 instruction set of ARM up ARMv8.6. Also includes floating point and SIMD instructions and two extra pages with system registers for ARMv8-A. Debug features, crypto operations, and compatibility with AArch32 have been omitted.
Instruction set of CRIS v10 including all memory addressing modes, execution times and examples for performing multiplication and division.
Instruction set of CRIS v32 including execution times and example for performing division.
Instruction set for the Motorola 68HC11.
Instruction set of MIPS32 release 2. Includes MIPS16e, DSP module rev 2 instructions, and coprocessor 0 registers. Floating point and coprocessor 2 instructions are not included.
Instruction set of PIC baseline devices including extended instructions.
Instruction set of PIC mid range devices including extended instruction set.
Instruction set of PIC high end devices including extended instructions.
