MLD,

YOur right, I made the silly mistake of thinking in 16 bit values for the constant rather than 32 bit values.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Many thanks Michael,
now its working. Its also working with 16-bit constant using "MVKLH" instruction.
Thanks once again,

Vijay

Use 1 32 bit constant for both instructions.

MVKL .S1 0x25410041,A4
MVKH .S1 0x25410041,A4

Some tutorial info.

On most processors with simple instruction sets you can go to the
'instruction description' page in the manual and figure it out. C6000
devices require you to look at multiple pages [if you are starting at
'ground zero'].
1. All original C6000 instructions [not c64+] are conditional [see
conditional operations section for 'decoder ring'].
2. The details for a machine instruction and assembly instruction are
different [there are a few 'mirrors' at the assembly level to help
you].
3. "if (cond)((cst31..16) << 16) or (dst15..0) → dst" is a description
of the machine instruction. As far as I know, the only use for this
is to manually disassemble 32 bits.
4. Although the machine instruction only deals with and 'cares about'
16 bits, the writers of the assembler decided that the major use of
MVKL/MVKH would be to load a 32 bit value. In some cases the value
could be a symbol - to simplify user programming, the assembler uses a
32 bit value following MVKL/MVKH.
The asm code
MVKL .S1 0x12345678, A4 ;loads 5678 into A4 bits 0-15
MVKH .S1 0x12345678, A4 ;loads 1234 into A4 bits 16-31

The code from the original question, rewritten with no functionality changes:
MVKL .S1 0x00000041,A4 ;loads 0041 into A4 bits 0-15
MVKH .S1 0x00002541,A4 ;loads 0000 into A4 bits 16-31

vijay,

here is what the ti manual says about the MVKH instruction
For the MVKH instruction:
if (cond)((cst31..16) << 16) or (dst15..0) → dst
else nop

(admittedly, I don't quite understand the "(cond)")
however, in your example, it seems the (cond) is evaluating to false.
