@cindex NDS32 processor
The NDS32 processors family includes high-performance and low-power 32-bit
processors for high-end to low-end.  @sc{gnu} @code{@value{AS}} for NDS32
architectures supports NDS32 ISA version 3.  For detail about NDS32
instruction set, please see the AndeStar ISA User Manual which is availible
at http://www.andestech.com/en/index/index.htm

@subsection Special Characters

Use @samp{#} at column 1 and @samp{!} anywhere in the line except inside
quotes.

Multiple instructions in a line are allowed though not recommended and
should be separated by @samp{;}.

Assembler is not case-sensitive in general except user defined label.
For example, @samp{jral F1} is different from @samp{jral f1} while it is
the same as @samp{JRAL F1}.

@node NDS32-Regs
@subsection Register Names
@table @code
@item General purpose registers (GPR)
There are 32 32-bit general purpose registers $r0 to $r31.

@item Accumulators d0 and d1
64-bit accumulators: $d0.hi, $d0.lo, $d1.hi, and $d1.lo.

@item Assembler reserved register $ta
Register $ta ($r15) is reserved for assembler using.

@item Operating system reserved registers $p0 and $p1
Registers $p0 ($r26) and $p1 ($r27) are used by operating system as scratch
registers.

@item Frame pointer $fp
Register $r28 is regarded as the frame pointer.

@item Global pointer
Register $r29 is regarded as the global pointer.

@item Link pointer
Register $r30 is regarded as the link pointer.

@item Stack pointer
Register $r31 is regarded as the stack pointer.
