Re: Strange instruction

That's a 64-bit add, which is actually being used as a 64-bit move
of the "sp" register to k1.  Try "objdump -m mips:isa64" (or whatever
variant gives your version of objdump the right to disassemble the
MIPS III+/MIPS64 instructions.

One might suspect that your board monitor ROM was built for a 64-bit CPU.
This illustrates why, if one want to write portable assembler code for MIPS,
one should implement "move" operations as OR Target,$0,Source rather than
using an ADDU or DADDU...
