BRK (Break) is a 65x instruction that triggers a non-maskable software interrupt (NMI). The byte following the opcode is called the signature byte. The state of the interrupt disable flag has no effect on the behavior of BRK although it will be set after BRK runs.
Control is routed to the BRK handler, whose address is stored at the BRK vector:
- In native mode, this vector is at $00:FFE6.
- In emulation mode, this vector is at $FFFE.
The PBR is cleared, but in native mode its previous value is pushed to the stack.
Syntax
BRK BRK sig
Cycle Skipped
BRK takes one fewer cycle in emulation mode as it doesn't need to push the program counter bank register to the stack.
If the signature byte was omitted from the assembler source, then it ends up serving double duty as the opcode of the next instruction. In this case the interrupt handler must decrement the return address on the stack so that the eventual RTI does not cause derailment.
BRK used to be considered a one-byte instruction in an early datasheet.
