I actually didnot know where to post there.

My teacher gave me assighnment and now its holiday here and cannot get clue from anybody for where to start.

Question was - Describe RTL(register transfer language) for MOV A,B in terms of
opcode fetch cycle &&& execute cycle.

I know this is moving content from register B to A. But I don't know how to go exactly with cycle asked.

Please help me.

The best place to find opcode representations is to look at any standard CPU architecture document for a common platform.

You can find these kind of documents at CPU vendor websites like Intel or AMD. Off the top of my head that's your best bet.
