Description:
The 26-bit target address is shifted left two bits and combined with the high-order four bits of the address of the
delay slot. The program unconditionally jumps to this calculated address with a delay of one instruction. The
address of the instruction after the delay slot is placed in the link register,
r31. The address of the instruction
immediately after a delay slot is placed in the link register (r31). When a MIPS16 instruction can be executed, the
value of bit 0 of r31 indicates the ISA mode bit before jump.
