I was using or1200 processor for my work and I want to know about the l.mtspr instruction (l.mtspr rA,rB,K). In this instruction, how to write in SPR group other than Group 0. As I was trying to write in the other group so I just gave the address of that register. But I can see that without specifying the group we cannot write into that register.

For example, if I have to write in UPR register (address = 1) of Group 0
l.mtspr r0, rx, 1
but if I want to write in IMMUPR register(address = 1) of Group 2
How should I write the assembly instruction?

Hello binod,

You can have up to 32 groups and each group can have up to 2^11 registers. So, to compute a register index, you first left-shift the group index and them add the register index.

In your example, to access the IMMUPR register (Group 2, Reg 1) you do: (2 << 11) + 1,
or to be more precise: l.mtspr r0, rx, (2 << 11) + 1.

You can find a nice table here: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/openrisc/include/asm/spr_defs.h
