| The assembly syntax for a register file entry is the “short” name for |
| a TIE register file followed by the index into that register file. For |
| example, the general-purpose <code>AR</code> register file has a short name of |
| <code>a</code>, so these registers are named <code>a0</code><small class="dots">...</small><code>a15</code>. |
| As a special feature, <code>sp</code> is also supported as a synonym for |
| <code>a1</code>. Additional registers may be added by processor configuration |
| options and by designer-defined TIE extensions. An initial ‘<samp><span class="samp">$</span></samp>’ |
| character is optional in all register names. |
