What unit do VSOXEI8.V offsets or strides use?
Index values are unsigned byte offsets, not element numbers.

Instruction Behavior
VSOXEI8.V stores active elements from vs3 at byte-offset addresses x[rs1] + vs2[i]; element stores are observed in ordered-indexed order. The index EEW is 8 bits. With vm=0, v0 selects stored elements; vm=1 is unmasked.
Quick Understanding & Search Notes
VSOXEI8.V is an RVV ordered indexed store; memory writes occur only for active elements not masked off.
The ei8 in the mnemonic is the index EEW, and index values are unsigned byte offsets.
Ordered indexed stores preserve observable element-store order.
vm=0 uses v0 as the execution mask; masked-off elements do not perform memory writes.

Pre-Use Checklist
Syntax Check
- Confirm the current instruction format is S-type.
- Confirm the operand order matches the example.
Semantic Check
- Ensure the destination register usage is compatible with the calling convention.
- Confirm this is not the lower-level form of a pseudo-instruction expansion.
Pitfalls / Common Confusions
ei8 is the index EEW; data width is still interpreted using current SEW/LMUL.
vs2[i] is an unsigned byte offset, not an element number.
Ordered indexed stores preserve observable element access order.
