Syntax Reference Notes

  • <abc> substitute with an appropriate value (register, renamed symbol, constant, etc)
  • (x) indirect addressing of delay memory, including address counter (AGU)
  • #(x) absolute indirect addressing of delay memory (no AGU)
  • [x] indirect addressing of memory registers
  • Use of all CAPS in the syntax indicate literals, e.g. ACC32 means it must be exactly that text
  • CR Core Register - R0-R15, ACC32, FLAGS (does not include ACC64)
  • MR Memory Register - MR0-MR127
  • SFR Special Function Register - INx, OUTx, BOOTSTAT, etc. see FXCore documentation
  • Some statements infer the proper mnemonic based on the types of the operands
  • Currently IF statement tokens must be space or tab separated, e.g. if r6>=0 goto mylabel is not valid, must be if r6 >= 0 goto mylabel

Register Based Assignment Statements

These are assignment statements that copy data from one register to another. An FXCore 'register' may a Core Register (CR), Memory Register (MR) or Special Function Register (SFR). TOON only allows assignments for which there exists a single FXCore instruction that can implement it. E.g. it is not possible to move data between Memory Registers with a single instruction, thus the assignment MR6 = MR29 is invalid and would be flagged as an error.

Delay Memory Load/Store/Interpolate

These assignment statements move data between Core Registers and the FXCore delay memory. Data can be read or written by constant address, by an address contained in a CR ("indirect" addressing) or by an absolute address in a CR ("absolute indirect" addressing).

Syntax Examples Notes Generated
<cr> = (<const>)
(<const>) = <cr>
<cr> = (<cr>)
(<cr>) = <cr>
<cr> = #(<cr>)
#(<cr>) = <cr>

r0 = (r5)
(r5) = r0

32 Bit Operations

The following are assignment statements that update the ACC32 Core Register by application of a function to 2 operands. FXCore has a wide range of 32-bit functions including bitwise logic, shifting, add, subtract, and multiply. Some functions have different variations depending on the type (constant or register) of the operations. If the function names OR, AND, XOR, SL, SR, or MULT are used, TOON will examine the operand types and automatically infer the correct FXCore instruction (see Inferred Instructions).

Syntax Examples Notes
ACC32 = <op1> <instr> <op2>
ACC32 = r0 xor r0
ACC32 = r0 and r1
ACC32 = r0 andi 0x7
ACC32 = r10 and 5 + 2
ACC32 = r1 multri 0.4
ACC32 = r1 mult r2

Conditional Branching

GOTO keyword is optional in IF statements. Blanks must surround the condition, e.g. r4>=0 would not be recognized. Right side of condition can only be 0 or acc32.sign.

Syntax Examples Notes Generated
IF <cr> <cond> 0|acc32.sign [GOTO] <label>
if r7 >= 0 goto mylabel
if r1 = 0 mylabel
if acc32 < 0 mylabel
if r0 != 0 goto mylabel
if r2 != acc32.sign mylabel
Conditions
  • = 0
  • <> 0
  • != 0
  • != acc32.sign
  • >= 0
  • < 0

JMP and GOTO are synonyms.
