There is no assembly language for VxWorks. Instead, there are assembly
languages for the various targets (micorporcessors) supported by VxWorks.
When one purchases VxWorks, one specifies one or more targets and receives
tool chains for those target(s). Most Wind River customers use GNU derived
tool chains although others are available, too.

In the tool chain's documentation. It often helps to have the target
vendor's documentation available, too.

I could be wrong, but this appears to be a Power PC instruction uses
immediate addressing mode to load the upper 16 bits of the value
represented by the macro MBAR_RESET_VALUE into the upper 16 bits of
register 3.

You're welcomed!

This is the extended mnemonic for the "addis" instruction. See the
"PowerPC User Instruction Set Architecture" manual, Appendix B.9, from:



WindRiver gives you the choice of either the regular mnemonics or the
extended (AKA simplified) mnemonics for disassembly listings.

You might also want to try Googling "powerpc assembly language" for info.
