VPU Instruction list by opcode
   

  0x00 WAIT

Pauses the program and starts waiting for an interrupt. The instruction
pointer is incremented once.
The WAIT flag is set and the instruction pointer is not incremented again
until the WAIT flag is unset.

  0x01 MOV [dst]
[src]

Copies data from src to dst. Operands can be registers, half-registers, symbols
or data/code/stack memory addresses in a register.

A MOV instruction can vary in length. The assembler automatically generates a
valid instruction and the VPU automatically increments the IP to the next
instruction.

Insert asterisk char (*) before a register name to dereference register 
contents as a data pointer. Using a plus sign (+) dereferences the contents
as a code pointer and comma (,) as a stack pointer. Remember that stack pointer
increments by 16-bit words, not bytes.

Examples of MOV instruction:

mov ax bx              - Copies contents from bx to ax.

mov bl dh              - Copies contents from dh to bl.

mov bl dx              - Copies contents from dx to bl. The most significant
                         byte from dx is not copied.

mov cx al              - Copies contents from bl to cx. The most significant
                         byte in cx is zeroed.

mov ax $sym            - Copies the value of $sym to ax.

mov ax .sym            - Copies the value of the segment where $sym is to ax.

mov *ax 10             - Copies immediate number 10 to a memory address in AX.

mov ax &sym            - Copies memory address of symbol $sym into AX as an
                         immediate number.
                         
mov ax +bx             - Copies a word from code address in BX into
                         AX.

mov al *bx             - Copies a byte from data address in BX into AX.
                         
mov ax ,bx             - Copies a word from stack offset in BX into AX.

register and used by the conditional jump instructions JE, JNE, JG, JGE, JLE
and JL. If the value of [reg0] is greater than [reg1], the comparison result
is positive. If the values are equals, the comparison result is 0. Else the
result is negative.

Pushes the contents of a 16-bit register [reg] to the stack and decrements the
stack pointer.

Gets the last pushed value from the stack into the 16-bit register [reg] and
increments the stack pointer.

  0x0A SUB [reg0] [reg1]
  
Substracts the value of [reg1] from [reg0].

  0x0B DSEG [reg]
  
Copies value from 16-bit register [reg] to data segment register.

  0x0C MUL [reg0] [reg1]
  
Multiplies the value of [reg0] by [reg1].

  0x0D DIV [reg0] [reg1]
  
Divides the value of [reg0] by [reg1]. The quotient is returned into [reg0]
and the remainder into [reg1]. The numbers are treated as unsigned integers.

  0x0E PRINTUINT [reg]
  
Prints the unsigned value of the register [reg].

  0x0F AND [reg0] [reg1]
  0x10 OR [reg0] [reg1]
  0x11 XOR [reg0] [reg1]

Ands, ors or xors the value of [reg0] by [reg1].

  0x12 INV [reg]
  
Inverts the value of [reg].

  0x13 SHL [reg0] [reg1]
  0x14 SHR [reg0] [reg1]

Shifts the value of [reg0] left or right by the value of [reg1]. 
  
  0x15 CALL [label]
  
Pushes the the incremented value of instruction pointer and the value of code
segment to the stack and jumps to [label]. Stack pointer is decremented by 2.

  0x16 RET
  
Jumps to the last double-word address pushed to the stack and increments stack
pointer by 2.
