14.18 Miscellaneous instructions
Table 14-23 shows the cycle timing behavior for If-Then (IT) and No OPeration (NOP)
instructions.
The
DBG
,
PLI
,
SEV
,
WFE
, and
YIELD
instructions are all treated the same as
NOP
, and so have the same
cycle timing behavior.
The
WFI
instruction stalls the pipeline for a variable number of cycles, depending on the current
state of the memory system.
