Hi Herman,
Note: I'm the same David Barker who started this thread, just with a new
email address.
I'm currently back at university, so I don't have access to Argon
Design's GitHub account any more. However, I got in contact and they
said they're happy for me to add my findings to the videocoreiv wiki
using my personal GitHub account.
So, if you also add my account (psi-squared) to the wiki, I can help out
with updating the instruction set listings. Apologies for the hassle!
Regards,
David

David,
Better late than never. Just added you to the github for videocoreiv.I'm
planning an update to the .arch and wiki page this weekend - weather permitting.
On that note, anyone that needs access to the wiki to assist in corrections /
clarifications, feel free to send a pull request and/or request explicit access.
The docs could certainly do with some clarifications and corrections.

Hi Herman,
I think it would make the most sense to make the changes from the company
Github account. The username for that is ArgonDesign.
I’ve also been planning to do some personal work with the VPUs, so I might very
well write some of those sample programs. That would be independent from Argon
Design, so it would be posted from my personal Github account. That’s assuming
I get time, of course.
In reply to David Given: Ah yes, you’re right that 0x005A is just an alias for
‘b lr’. However, I’ve seen that name used in the sample program on Herman’s
wiki, and I still feel it makes sense to have a special “return” mnemonic. And if I
get around to any further investigation, I’ll definitely try to fill out the
gaps in the instruction tables. Though I’m not too confident of finding
anything – everyone else seems to have done a pretty good job already!
Regards,
David Barker
