J-Type Instruction (RISC-V)

A J-type instruction encodes a jump target as a split sign-extended offset relative to the current program counter.

Synopsis

J-type instructions use a split sign-extended offset relative to the current program counter.

The remaining fields provide the jump encoding:

• rd names the destination register.
• op identifies the instruction as a J-type instruction.
