LDRB (immediate)
Load register byte (immediate)
This instruction loads a byte from memory,
zero-extends it, and writes the result to a
register.
The address that is used for the load is calculated from a base
register and an immediate offset.
For information about addressing modes, see
Load/Store addressing modes.
For information about the CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behavior of this instruction, see Architectural Constraints on UNPREDICTABLE behaviors, and particularly LDRH (immediate).
If PSTATE.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored.
It has encodings from 3 classes:
Post-index
,
Pre-index
and
Unsigned offset

<Wt>
Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose register to be transferred, encoded in the "Rt" field.
<Xn|SP>
Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose base register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field.
<simm>
Is the signed immediate byte offset, in the range -256 to 255, encoded in the "imm9" field.
<pimm>
Is the optional positive immediate byte offset, in the range 0 to 4095, defaulting to 0 and encoded in the "imm12" field.
