BRA (BRanch Always) is a 65c816 instruction that performs an unconditional jump. The signed displacement ranges from -128 to 127. The displacement is sign-extended to 16 bits and added to the program counter. The displacement is measured from the instruction following BRA.
BRA is relocatable. No flags are affected.
