Introduction
1.1 Introduction
ARM610, is a general purpose 32-bit microprocessor with 4kByte cache, write buffer and Memory Management Unit (MMU) combined in a single chip. The CPU within ARM610 is the ARM6. The ARM610 is software compatible with the ARM processor family and can be used with ARM support chips, eg. I/O, memory and video. The ARM610 architecture is based on 'Reduced Instruction Set Computer' (RISC) principles, and the instruction set and related decode mechanism are greatly simplified compared with microprogrammed 'Complex Instruction Set Computers' (CISC). The on-chip mixed data and instruction cache together with the write buffer substantially raise the average execution speed and reduce the average amount of memory bandwidth required by the processor. This allows the external memory to support additional processors or Direct Memory Access (DMA) channels with minimal performance loss. The MMU supports a conventional two-level page-table structure and a number of extensions which make it ideal for embedded control, UNIX and Object Oriented systems. The instruction set comprises ten basic instruction types: * Two of these make use of the on-chip arithmetic logic unit, barrel shifter and multiplier to perform high-speed operations on the data in a bank of 31 registers, each 32 bits wide. Three classes of instruction control data transfer between memory and the registers, one optimised for flexibility of addressing, another for rapid context switching and the third for swapping data. Two instructions control the flow and privilege level of execution.
*
* *
Three types are dedicated to the control of external coprocessors which allow the functionality of the instruction set to be extended off-chip in an open and uniform way. The ARM instruction set is a good target for compilers of many different high-level languages. Where required for critical code segments, assembly code programming is also straightforward, unlike some RISC processors which depend on sophisticated compiler technology to manage complicated instruction interdependencies. The memory interface has been designed to allow the performance potential to be realised without incurring high costs in the memory system. Speed-critical control signals are pipelined to allow system control functions to be implemented in standard low-power logic, and these control signals permit the exploitation of paged mode access offered by industry standard DRAMs. ARM610 is a fully static part and has been designed to minimise its power requirements. This makes it ideal for portable applications where both these features are essential.

Description Address Bus. This bus signals the address requested for memory accesses. Normally it changes during MCLK HIGH. Address bus enable. When this input is LOW, the address bus A[31:0], nRW, nBW and LOCK are put into a high impedance state (Note 1). External abort. Allows the memory system to tell the processor that a requested access has failed. Only monitored when ARM610 is accessing external memory. Address latch enable. This input is used to control transparent latches on the address bus A[31:0], nBWTT, nRW and LOCK. Normally these signals change during MCLK HIGH, but they may be held by driving ALE LOW. See *13.2.2 Tald measurement on page 13-3. Data bus. These are bidirectional signal paths used for data transfers between the processor and external memory. For read operations (when nRW is LOW), the input data must be valid before the falling edge of MCLK. For write operations (when nRW is HIGH), the output data will become valid while MCLK is LOW. At high clock frequencies the data may not become valid until just after the MCLK rising edge (see *13.3 Main Bus Signals on page 13-3). Data bus enable. When this input is LOW, the data bus, D[31:0] is put into a high impedance state (Note 1). The drivers will always be high impedance except during write operations, and DBE must be driven HIGH in systems which do not require the data bus for DMA or similar activities. Fast clock input. When the ARM610 CPU is accessing the cache or performing an internal cycle, it is clocked with the Fast Clock, FCLK. Locked operation. LOCK is driven HIGH, to signal a locked memory access sequence, and the memory manager should wait until LOCK goes LOW before allowing another device to access the memory. LOCK changes while MCLK is HIGH and remains HIGH during the locked memory sequence. LOCK is latched by ALE. Memory clock input. This clock times all ARM610 memory accesses. The LOW or HIGH period of MCLK may be stretched for slow peripherals; alternatively, the nWAIT input may be used with a free-running MCLK to achieve similar effects.

Signal Description
Name Type IT OCZ Description Memory request/sequential enable. When this input is LOW, the nMREQ and SEQ outputs are put into a high impedance state (Note 1). Not byte / word. An output signal used by the processor to indicate to the external memory system when a data transfer of a byte length is required. nBW is HIGH for word transfers and LOW for byte transfers, and is valid for both read and write operations. The signal changes while MCLK is HIGH. nBW is latched by ALE. Not fast interrupt request. If FIQs are enabled, the processor will respond to a LOW level on this input by taking the FIQ interrupt exception. This is an asynchronous, level-sensitive input, and must be held LOW until a suitable response is received from the processor. Not interrupt request. As nFIQ, but with lower priority. May be taken LOW asynchronously to interrupt the processor when the IRQ enable is active. Not memory request. A pipelined signal that changes while MCLK is LOW to indicate whether or not in the following cycle, the processor will be accessing external memory. When nMREQ is LOW, the processor will be accessing external memory. Not reset. This is a level sensitive input which is used to start the processor from a known address. A LOW level will cause the current instruction to terminate abnormally, and the on-chip cache, MMU, and write buffer to be disabled. When nRESET is driven HIGH, the processor will re-start from address 0. nRESET must remain LOW for at least two full FCLK cycles or five full MCLK cycles whichever is greater. While nRESET is LOW the processor will perform idle cycles with incrementing addresses and nWAIT must be HIGH. Not read/write. When HIGH this signal indicates a processor write operation; when LOW, a read. The signal changes while MCLK is HIGH. nRW is latched by ALE. Test interface reset. Note this pin does NOT have an internal pullup resistor. This pin must be pulsed or driven LOW to achieve normal device operation, in addition to the normal device reset (nRESET). Not wait. When LOW this allows extra MCLK cycles to be inserted in memory accesses. It must change during the LOW phase of the MCLK cycle to be extended. Sequential address. This signal is the inverse of nMREQ, and is provided for compatibility with existing ARM memory systems. This pin should be hard wired HIGH. Test bus input. This bus is used for off-board testing of the device. When the device is fitted to a circuit all these pins must be tied LOW.

Notes 1 When output pads are placed in the high impedance state for long periods, take care that they do not float to an undefined logic level, as this can dissipate power, especially in the pads. Although the input pads have TTL thresholds, and will correctly interpret a TTL level input, note that unless all inputs are driven to the voltage rails, the input circuits will consume power.

Programmer's Model
3.1 Introduction
ARM610 supports a variety of operating configurations. Some are controlled by register bits and are known as the register configurations. Others may be controlled by software and these are known as operating modes.
3.2
Register Configuration
The ARM610 processor provides 4 register configurations which may be changed while the processor is running and which are detailed in *Chapter 4, Instruction Set. The bigend bit, in the Control Register, sets whether the ARM610 treats words in memory as being stored in big-endian or little-endian format, see *Chapter 5, Configuration. Memory is viewed as a linear collection of bytes numbered upwards from zero. Bytes 0 to 3 hold the first stored word, bytes 4 to 7 the second and so on. In the little-endian scheme the lowest numbered byte in a word is considered to be the least significant byte of the word and the highest numbered byte is the most significant. Byte 0 of the memory system should be connected to data lines 7 through 0 (D[7:0]) in this scheme. In the big-endian scheme the most significant byte of a word is stored at the lowest numbered byte and the least significant byte is stored at the highest numbered byte. Byte 0 of the memory system should therefore be connected to data lines 31 through 24 (D[31:24]). The lateabt bit in the Control Register, see *Chapter 5, Configuration, sets the processor's behaviour when a data abort exception occurs. It only affects the behaviour of load/store register instructions and is discussed more fully in *Chapter 3, Programmer's Model and *Chapter 4, Instruction Set. The other two configuration bits, prog32 and data32 are used for backward compatibility with earlier ARM processors (see appendix A-1) but should normally be set to 1. This configuration extends the address space to 32 bits, introduces major changes in the programmer's model as described below and provides support for running existing 26-bit programs in the 32-bit environment. This mode is recommended for compatibility with future ARM processors and all new code should be written to use only the 32-bit operating modes. Because the original ARM instruction set has been modified to accommodate 32-bit operation, there are certain additional restrictions which programmers must be aware of. These are indicated in the text by the words shall and shall not. Reference should also be made to the ARM Application Notes "Rules for ARM Code Writers" and "Notes for ARM Code Writers" available from your supplier.

Programmer's Model
3.3 Operating Mode Selection
ARM610 has a 32-bit data bus and a 32-bit address bus. The data types the processor supports are Bytes (8 bits) and Words (32 bits), where words must be aligned to four byte boundaries. Instructions are exactly one word, and data operations (e.g. ADD) are only performed on word quantities. Load and store operations can transfer either bytes or words. ARM610 supports six modes of operation: 1 2 3 4 5 User mode (usr): the normal program execution state FIQ mode (fiq): designed to support a data transfer or channel process IRQ mode (irq): used for general purpose interrupt handling Supervisor mode (svc): a protected mode for the operating system Abort mode (abt): entered after a data or instruction prefetch abort
6 Undefined mode (und): entered when an undefined instruction is executed Mode changes may be made under software control or may be brought about by external interrupts or exception processing. Most application programs will execute in User mode. The other modes, known as privileged modes, will be entered to service interrupts or exceptions or to access protected resources.
3.4
Registers
The processor has a total of 37 registers made up of 31 general 32-bit registers and 6 status registers. At any one time 16 general registers (R0 to R15) and one or two status registers are visible to the programmer. The visible registers depend on the processor mode and the other registers (the banked registers) are switched in to support IRQ, FIQ, Supervisor, Abort and Undefined mode processing. The register bank organisation is shown in *Figure 3-1: Register organisation on page 3-4. The banked registers are shaded in the diagram. In all modes 16 registers, R0 to R15, are directly accessible. All registers except R15 are general purpose and may be used to hold data or address values. Register R15 holds the Program Counter (PC). When R15 is read, bits [1:0] are zero and bits [31:2] contain the PC. A seventeenth register (the CPSR - Current Program Status Register) is also accessible. It contains condition code flags and the current mode bits and may be thought of as an extension to the PC. R14 is used as the subroutine link register and receives a copy of R15 when a Branch and Link instruction is executed. It may be treated as a general purpose register at all other times. R14_svc, R14_irq, R14_fiq, R14_abt and R14_und are used similarly to hold the return values of R15 when interrupts and exceptions arise, or when Branch and Link instructions are executed within interrupt or exception routines.

Figure 3-1: Register organisation
FIQ mode has seven banked registers mapped to R8-14 (R8_fiq-R14_fiq). Many FIQ programs will not need to save any registers. User mode, IRQ mode, Supervisor mode, Abort mode and Undefined mode each have two banked registers mapped to R13 and R14. The two banked registers allow these modes to each have a private stack pointer and link register. Supervisor, IRQ, Abort and Undefined mode programs which require more than these two banked registers are expected to save some or all of the caller's registers (R0 to R12) on their respective stacks. They are then free to use these registers which they will restore before returning to the caller. In addition there are also five SPSRs (Saved Program Status Registers) which are loaded with the CPSR when an exception occurs. There is one SPSR for each privileged mode.

Figure 3-2: Format of the program status registers (PSRs)
The format of the Program Status Registers is shown in *Figure 3-2: Format of the program status registers (PSRs). The N, Z, C and V bits are the condition code flags. The condition code flags in the CPSR may be changed as a result of arithmetic and logical operations in the processor and may be tested by all instructions to determine if the instruction is to be executed. The I and F bits are the interrupt disable bits. The I bit disables IRQ interrupts when it is set and the F bit disables FIQ interrupts when it is set. The M0, M1, M2, M3 and M4 bits (M[4:0]) are the mode bits, and these determine the mode in which the processor operates. The interpretation of the mode bits is shown. Not all combinations of the mode bits define a valid processor mode. Only those explicitly described shall be used. The bottom 28 bits of a PSR (incorporating I, F and M[4:0]) are known collectively as the control bits. The control bits will change when an exception arises and in addition can be manipulated by software when the processor is in a privileged mode. Unused bits in the PSRs are reserved and their state shall be preserved when changing the flag or control bits. Programs shall not rely on specific values from the reserved bits when checking the PSR status, since they may read as one or zero in future processors.

3.5 Exceptions
Exceptions arise whenever there is a need for the normal flow of program execution to be broken, so that (for example) the processor can be diverted to handle an interrupt from a peripheral. The processor state just prior to handling the exception must be preserved so that the original program can be resumed when the exception routine has completed. Many exceptions may arise at the same time. ARM610 handles exceptions by making use of the banked registers to save state. The old PC and CPSR contents are copied into the appropriate R14 and SPSR and the PC and mode bits in the CPSR bits are forced to a value which depends on the exception. Interrupt disable flags are set where required to prevent otherwise unmanageable nestings of exceptions. In the case of a re-entrant interrupt handler, R14 and the SPSR should be saved onto a stack in main memory before re-enabling the interrupt; when transferring the SPSR register to and from a stack, it is important to transfer the whole 32-bit value, and not just the flag or control fields. When multiple exceptions arise simultaneously, a fixed priority determines the order in which they are handled. The priorities are listed later in this chapter.
3.5.1 FIQ
The FIQ (Fast Interrupt reQuest) exception is externally generated by taking the nFIQ input LOW. This input can accept asynchronous transitions, and is delayed by one clock cycle for synchronisation before it can affect the processor execution flow. It is designed to support a data transfer or channel process, and has sufficient private registers to remove the need for register saving in such applications (thus minimising the overhead of context switching). The FIQ exception may be disabled by setting the F flag in the CPSR (but note that this is not possible from User mode). If the F flag is clear, ARM610 checks for a LOW level on the output of the FIQ synchroniser at the end of each instruction. When a FIQ is detected, ARM610 performs the following: 1 2 Saves the address of the next instruction to be executed plus 4 in R14_fiq; saves CPSR in SPSR_fiq Forces M[4:0]=10001 (FIQ mode) and sets the F and I bits in the CPSR
3 Forces the PC to fetch the next instruction from address 0x1C To return normally from FIQ, use SUBS PC, R14_fiq,#4 which will restore both the PC (from R14) and the CPSR (from SPSR_fiq) and resume execution of the interrupted code.
3.5.2 IRQ
The IRQ (Interrupt ReQuest) exception is a normal interrupt caused by a LOW level on the nIRQ input. It has a lower priority than FIQ, and is masked out when a FIQ sequence is entered. Its effect may be masked out at any time by setting the I bit in the CPSR (but note that this is not possible from User mode). If the I flag is clear, ARM610 checks for a LOW level on the output of the IRQ synchroniser at the end of each instruction.

When an IRQ is detected, ARM610 performs the following: 1 2 Saves the address of the next instruction to be executed plus 4 in R14_irq; saves CPSR in SPSR_irq Forces M[4:0]=10010 (IRQ mode) and sets the I bit in the CPSR
3 Forces the PC to fetch the next instruction from address 0x18 To return normally from IRQ, use SUBS PC,R14_irq,#4 which will restore both the PC and the CPSR and resume execution of the interrupted code.
3.5.3 Abort
An ABORT can be signalled by either the internal Memory Management Unit or from the external ABORT input. ABORT indicates that the current memory access cannot be completed. For instance, in a virtual memory system the data corresponding to the current address may have been moved out of memory onto a disc, and considerable processor activity may be required to recover the data before the access can be performed successfully. ARM610 checks for ABORT during memory access cycles. When successfully aborted ARM610 will respond in one of two ways: 1 If the abort occurred during an instruction prefetch (a Prefetch Abort), the prefetched instruction is marked as invalid but the abort exception does not occur immediately. If the instruction is not executed, for example as a result of a branch being taken while it is in the pipeline, no abort will occur. An abort will take place if the instruction reaches the head of the pipeline and is about to be executed. If the abort occurred during a data access (a Data Abort), the action depends on the instruction type. a) Single data transfer instructions (LDR, STR) are aborted as though the instruction had not executed if the processor is configured for Early Abort. When configured for Late Abort, these instructions are able to write back modified base registers and the Abort handler must be aware of this. b) The swap instruction (SWP) is aborted as though it had not executed, though externally the read access may take place. c) Block data transfer instructions (LDM, STM) complete, and if write-back is set, the base is updated. If the instruction would normally have overwritten the base with data (i.e. LDM with the base in the transfer list), this overwriting is prevented. All register overwriting is prevented after the Abort is indicated, which means in particular that R15 (which is always last to be transferred) is preserved in an aborted LDM instruction. Note that on Data Aborts the ARM610 fault address and fault status registers are updated.

Programmer's Model
When either a prefetch or data abort occurs, ARM610 performs the following: 1 2 3 Saves the address of the aborted instruction plus 4 (for prefetch aborts) or 8 (for data aborts) in R14_abt; saves CPSR in SPSR_abt. Forces M[4:0]=10111 (Abort mode) and sets the I bit in the CPSR.
Forces the PC to fetch the next instruction from either address 0x0C (prefetch abort) or address 0x10 (data abort). To return after fixing the reason for the abort, use SUBS PC,R14_abt,#4 (for a prefetch abort) or SUBS PC,R14_abt,#8 (for a data abort). This will restore both the PC and the CPSR and retry the aborted instruction. The abort mechanism allows a demand paged virtual memory system to be implemented when suitable memory management software is available. The processor is allowed to generate arbitrary addresses, and when the data at an address is unavailable the MMU signals an abort. The processor traps into system software which must work out the cause of the abort, make the requested data available, and retry the aborted instruction. The application program needs no knowledge of the amount of memory available to it, nor is its state in any way affected by the abort. Note that there are restrictions on the use of the external abort pin. See *Chapter 9, Memory Management Unit.
3.5.4 Software interrupt
The software interrupt instruction (SWI) is used for getting into Supervisor mode, usually to request a particular supervisor function. When a SWI is executed, ARM610 performs the following: 1 2 Saves the address of the SWI instruction plus 4 in R14_svc; saves CPSR in SPSR_svc Forces M[4:0]=10011 (Supervisor mode) and sets the I bit in the CPSR
3 Forces the PC to fetch the next instruction from address 0x08 To return from a SWI, use MOVS PC,R14_svc. This will restore the PC and CPSR and return to the instruction following the SWI.
3.5.5 Undefined instruction trap
When the ARM610 comes across an instruction which it cannot handle (see *Chapter 4, Instruction Set), it offers it to any coprocessors which may be present. If a coprocessor can perform this instruction but is busy at that time, ARM610 will wait until the coprocessor is ready or until an interrupt occurs. If no coprocessor can handle the instruction then ARM610 will take the undefined instruction trap. The trap may be used for software emulation of a coprocessor in a system which does not have the coprocessor hardware, or for general purpose instruction set extension by software emulation.
3-8
ARM610 Data Sheet
Programmer's Model
When ARM610 takes the undefined instruction trap it performs the following: 1 2 Saves the address of the Undefined or coprocessor instruction plus 4 in R14_und; saves CPSR in SPSR_und Forces M[4:0]=11011 (Undefined mode) and sets the I bit in the CPSR
3 Forces the PC to fetch the next instruction from address 0x04 To return from this trap after emulating the failed instruction, use MOVS PC,R14_und. This will restore the CPSR and return to the instruction following the undefined instruction.

Table 3-2: Vector summary
These are byte addresses, and will normally contain a branch instruction pointing to the relevant routine. The FIQ routine might reside at 0x1C onwards, and thereby avoid the need for (and execution time of) a branch instruction. The reserved entry is for an Address Exception vector which is only operative when the processor is configured for a 26-bit program space. See *Chapter A, Backward Compatibility.

3.5.7 Exception priorities
When multiple exceptions arise at the same time, a fixed priority system determines the order in which they will be handled: 1 2 3 4 5 Reset (highest priority) Data abort FIQ IRQ Prefetch abort
6 Undefined Instruction, Software interrupt (lowest priority) Note that not all exceptions can occur at once. Undefined instruction and software interrupt are mutually exclusive since they each correspond to particular (nonoverlapping) decodings of the current instruction. If a data abort occurs at the same time as a FIQ, and FIQs are enabled (i.e. the F flag in the CPSR is clear), ARM610 will enter the data abort handler and then immediately proceed to the FIQ vector. A normal return from FIQ will cause the data abort handler to resume execution. Placing data abort at a higher priority than FIQ is necessary to ensure that the transfer error does not escape detection; the time for this exception entry should be added to worst case FIQ latency calculations.
3.5.8 Interrupt latencies
Calculating the worst case interrupt latency for the ARM610 is quite complex due to the cache, MMU and write buffer and is dependant on the configuration of the whole system. Please see Application Note - Calculating the ARM610 Interrupt Latency.
3.6
Reset
When the nRESET signal goes LOW, ARM610 abandons the executing instruction and then performs idle cycles from incrementing word addresses. At the end of the reset sequence ARM610 performs either 1 or 2 memory accesses from the address reached before nRESET goes HIGH. When nRESET goes HIGH again, ARM610 performs the following: 1 2 3 4 Overwrites R14_svc and SPSR_svc by copying the current values of the PC and CPSR into them. The value of the saved PC and CPSR is not defined. Forces M[4:0]=10011 (Supervisor mode) and sets the I and F bits in the CPSR. Performs either one or two memory accesses from the address output at the end of the reset. Forces the PC to fetch the next instruction from address 0x00
3-10
ARM610 Data Sheet
Programmer's Model
At the end of the reset sequence, the MMU is disabled and the TLB is flushed, so forces "flat" translation (i.e. the physical address is the virtual address, and there is no permission checking); alignment faults are also disabled; the cache is disabled and flushed; the write buffer is disabled and flushed; the ARM6 CPU core is put into 26-bit data and address mode, with early abort timing and little-endian mode.

4.2 The Condition Field
In ARM state, all instructions are conditionally executed according to the state of the CPSR condition codes and the instruction's condition field. This field (bits 31:28) determines the circumstances under which an instruction is to be executed.

If the state of the C, N, Z and V flags fulfils the conditions encoded by the field, the instruction is executed, otherwise it is ignored. There are 16 possible conditions, each represented by a two-character suffix that can be appended to the instruction's mnemonic. For example, a Branch (B in assembly language) becomes BEQ for "Branch if Equal", which means the Branch will only be taken if the Z flag is set. In practice, 15 different conditions may be used: these are listed in *Table 4-2: Condition code summary. The sixteenth (1111) is reserved, and must not be used. In the absence of a suffix, the condition field of most instructions is set to "Always" (suffix AL). This means the instruction will always be executed regardless of the CPSR condition codes.

Figure 4-2: Branch instructions
Branch instructions contain a signed two's complement 24-bit offset. This is shifted left two bits, sign extended to 32 bits, and added to the PC. The instruction can therefore specify a branch of +/- 32Mbytes. The branch offset must take account of the prefetch operation, which causes the PC to be 2 words (8 bytes) ahead of the current instruction. Branches beyond +/- 32Mbytes must use an offset or absolute destination which has been previously loaded into a register. In this case the PC should be manually saved in R14 if a Branch with Link type operation is required.
4.3.1 The link bit
Branch with Link (BL) writes the old PC into the link register (R14) of the current bank. The PC value written into R14 is adjusted to allow for the prefetch, and contains the address of the instruction following the branch and link instruction. Note that the CPSR is not saved with the PC and R14[1:0] are always cleared. To return from a routine called by Branch with Link use MOV PC,R14 if the link register is still valid or LDM Rn!,{..PC} if the link register has been saved onto a stack pointed to by Rn.

Instruction Set - Data processing
Figure 4-3: Data processing instructions
The instruction produces a result by performing a specified arithmetic or logical operation on one or two operands. The first operand is always a register (Rn). The second operand may be a shifted register (Rm) or a rotated 8-bit immediate value (Imm) according to the value of the I bit in the instruction. The condition codes in the CPSR may be preserved or updated as a result of this instruction, according to the value of the S bit in the instruction. Certain operations (TST, TEQ, CMP, CMN) do not write the result to Rd. They are used only to perform tests and to set the condition codes on the result and always have the S bit set. The instructions and their effects are listed in *Table 4-3: ARM Data processing instructions on page 4-10.
4.4.1 CPSR flags
The data processing operations may be classified as logical or arithmetic. Logical operations The logical operations (AND, EOR, TST, TEQ, ORR, MOV, BIC, MVN) perform the logical action on all corresponding bits of the operand or operands to produce the result. If the S bit is set (and Rd is not R15, see below) the V flag in the CPSR will be unaffected, the C flag will be set to the carry out from the barrel shifter (or preserved when the shift operation is LSL #0), the Z flag will be set if and only if the result is all zeros, and the N flag will be set to the logical value of bit 31 of the result.

Table 4-3: ARM Data processing instructions
Arithmetic operations The arithmetic operations (SUB, RSB, ADD, ADC, SBC, RSC, CMP, CMN) treat each operand as a 32-bit integer (either unsigned or two's complement signed, the two are equivalent). If the S bit is set (and Rd is not R15) the V flag in the CPSR will be set if an overflow occurs into bit 31 of the result; this may be ignored if the operands were considered unsigned, but warns of a possible error if the operands were two's complement signed. The C flag will be set to the carry out of bit 31 of the ALU, the Z flag will be set if and only if the result was zero, and the N flag will be set to the value of bit 31 of the result (indicating a negative result if the operands are considered to be two's complement signed).
When the second operand is specified to be a shifted register, the operation of the barrel shifter is controlled by the Shift field in the instruction. This field indicates the type of shift to be performed (logical left or right, arithmetic right or rotate right). The amount by which the register should be shifted may be contained in an immediate field in the instruction, or in the bottom byte of another register (other than R15). The encoding for the different shift types is shown in *Figure 4-4: ARM shift operations.

4.4.2 Shifts
Instruction Set - Shifts
Instruction specified shift amount When the shift amount is specified in the instruction, it is contained in a 5-bit field which may take any value from 0 to 31. A logical shift left (LSL) takes the contents of Rm and moves each bit by the specified amount to a more significant position. The least significant bits of the result are filled with zeros, and the high bits of Rm which do not map into the result are discarded, except that the least significant discarded bit becomes the shifter carry output which may be latched into the C bit of the CPSR when the ALU operation is in the logical class (see above). For example, the effect of LSL #5 is shown in *Figure 4-5: Logical shift left.

LSL #0 is a special case, where the shifter carry out is the old value of the CPSR C flag. The contents of Rm are used directly as the second operand. A logical shift right (LSR) is similar, but the contents of Rm are moved to less significant positions in the result. LSR #5 has the effect shown in *Figure 4-6: Logical shift right.

Instruction Set - Shifts
The form of the shift field which might be expected to correspond to LSR #0 is used to encode LSR #32, which has a zero result with bit 31 of Rm as the carry output. Logical shift right zero is redundant as it is the same as logical shift left zero, so the assembler will convert LSR #0 (and ASR #0 and ROR #0) into LSL #0, and allow LSR #32 to be specified. An arithmetic shift right (ASR) is similar to logical shift right, except that the high bits are filled with bit 31 of Rm instead of zeros. This preserves the sign in two's complement notation. For example, ASR #5 is shown in *Figure 4-7: Arithmetic shift right.

The form of the shift field which might be expected to give ASR #0 is used to encode ASR #32. Bit 31 of Rm is again used as the carry output, and each bit of operand 2 is also equal to bit 31 of Rm. The result is therefore all ones or all zeros, according to the value of bit 31 of Rm. Rotate right (ROR) operations reuse the bits which "overshoot" in a logical shift right operation by reintroducing them at the high end of the result, in place of the zeros used to fill the high end in logical right operations. For example, ROR #5 is shown in *Figure 4-8: Rotate right on page 4-13.

The form of the shift field which might be expected to give ROR #0 is used to encode a special function of the barrel shifter, rotate right extended (RRX).

Register specified shift amount Only the least significant byte of the contents of Rs is used to determine the shift amount. Rs can be any general register other than R15. If this byte is zero, the unchanged contents of Rm will be used as the second operand, and the old value of the CPSR C flag will be passed on as the shifter carry output. If the byte has a value between 1 and 31, the shifted result will exactly match that of an instruction specified shift with the same value and shift operation. If the value in the byte is 32 or more, the result will be a logical extension of the shift described above: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 LSL by 32 has result zero, carry out equal to bit 0 of Rm. LSL by more than 32 has result zero, carry out zero. LSR by 32 has result zero, carry out equal to bit 31 of Rm. LSR by more than 32 has result zero, carry out zero. ASR by 32 or more has result filled with and carry out equal to bit 31 of Rm. ROR by 32 has result equal to Rm, carry out equal to bit 31 of Rm.
Note
ROR by n where n is greater than 32 will give the same result and carry out as ROR by n-32; therefore repeatedly subtract 32 from n until the amount is in the range 1 to 32 and see above. The zero in bit 7 of an instruction with a register controlled shift is compulsory; a one in this bit will cause the instruction to be a multiply or undefined instruction.

4.4.3 Immediate operand rotates
The immediate operand rotate field is a 4-bit unsigned integer which specifies a shift operation on the 8-bit immediate value. This value is zero extended to 32 bits, and then subject to a rotate right by twice the value in the rotate field. This enables many common constants to be generated, for example all powers of 2.
4.4.4 Writing to R15
When Rd is a register other than R15, the condition code flags in the CPSR may be updated from the ALU flags as described above. When Rd is R15 and the S flag in the instruction is not set the result of the operation is placed in R15 and the CPSR is unaffected. When Rd is R15 and the S flag is set the result of the operation is placed in R15 and the SPSR corresponding to the current mode is moved to the CPSR. This allows state changes which atomically restore both PC and CPSR. This form of instruction should not be used in User mode.
4.4.5 Using R15 as an operand
The PC value will be the address of the instruction, plus 8 or 12 bytes due to instruction prefetching. If the shift amount is specified in the instruction, the PC will be 8 bytes ahead. If a register is used to specify the shift amount the PC will be 12 bytes ahead.
4.4.6 TEQ, TST, CMP and CMN opcodes
Note
TEQ, TST, CMP and CMN do not write the result of their operation but do set flags in the CPSR. An assembler should always set the S flag for these instructions even if this is not specified in the mnemonic. The TEQP form of the TEQ instruction used in earlier ARM processors must not be used: the PSR transfer operations should be used instead.
The action of TEQP in the ARM610 is to move SPSR_ to the CPSR if the processor is in a privileged mode and to do nothing if in User mode.

4.5 PSR Transfer (MRS, MSR)
The instruction is only executed if the condition is true. The various conditions are defined in *Table 4-2: Condition code summary on page 4-6. The MRS and MSR instructions are formed from a subset of the Data Processing operations and are implemented using the TEQ, TST, CMN and CMP instructions without the S flag set. The encoding is shown in *Figure 4-10: PSR transfer on page 4-18. These instructions allow access to the CPSR and SPSR registers. The MRS instruction allows the contents of the CPSR or SPSR_ to be moved to a general register. The MSR instruction allows the contents of a general register to be moved to the CPSR or SPSR_ register. The MSR instruction also allows an immediate value or register contents to be transferred to the condition code flags (N,Z,C and V) of CPSR or SPSR_ without affecting the control bits. In this case, the top four bits of the specified register contents or 32-bit immediate value are written to the top four bits of the relevant PSR.
4.5.1 Operand restrictions
*
*
The SPSR register which is accessed depends on the mode at the time of execution. For example, only SPSR_fiq is accessible when the processor is in FIQ mode. You must not specify R15 as the source or destination register. Also, do not attempt to access an SPSR in User mode, since no such register exists.

In User mode, the control bits of the CPSR are protected from change, so only the condition code flags of the CPSR can be changed. In other (privileged) modes the entire CPSR can be changed. Note that the software must never change the state of the T bit in the CPSR. If this happens, the processor will enter an unpredictable state.

4.5.2 Reserved bits
Only twelve bits of the PSR are defined in ARM610 (N,Z,C,V,I,F, T & M[4:0]); the remaining bits are reserved for use in future versions of the processor. Refer to *Figure 3-6: Program status register format on page 3-8 for a full description of the PSR bits. To ensure the maximum compatibility between ARM610 programs and future processors, the following rules should be observed: * * The reserved bits should be preserved when changing the value in a PSR.
Programs should not rely on specific values from the reserved bits when checking the PSR status, since they may read as one or zero in future processors. A read-modify-write strategy should therefore be used when altering the control bits of any PSR register; this involves transferring the appropriate PSR register to a general register using the MRS instruction, changing only the relevant bits and then transferring the modified value back to the PSR register using the MSR instruction. Example The following sequence performs a mode change: MRS BIC ORR MSR ; Take a copy of the CPSR. ; Clear the mode bits. ; Select new mode ; Write back the modified ; CPSR. When the aim is simply to change the condition code flags in a PSR, a value can be written directly to the flag bits without disturbing the control bits. The following instruction sets the N,Z,C and V flags: MSR ; Set all the flags ; regardless of their ; previous state (does not ; affect any control bits). No attempt should be made to write an 8-bit immediate value into the whole PSR since such an operation cannot preserve the reserved bits.

The multiply form of the instruction gives Rd:=Rm*Rs. Rn is ignored, and should be set to zero for compatibility with possible future upgrades to the instruction set. The multiply-accumulate form gives Rd:=Rm*Rs+Rn, which can save an explicit ADD instruction in some circumstances. Both forms of the instruction work on operands which may be considered as signed (two's complement) or unsigned integers. The results of a signed multiply and of an unsigned multiply of 32-bit operands differ only in the upper 32 bits - the low 32 bits of the signed and unsigned results are identical. As these instructions only produce the low 32 bits of a multiply, they can be used for both signed and unsigned multiplies. For example consider the multiplication of the operands: Operand A 0xFFFFFFF6 Operand B 0x0000001 Result 0xFFFFFF38
If the operands are interpreted as signed Operand A has the value -10, operand B has the value 20, and the result is -200 which is correctly represented as 0xFFFFFF38 If the operands are interpreted as unsigned Operand A has the value 4294967286, operand B has the value 20 and the result is 85899345720, which is represented as 0x13FFFFFF38, so the least significant 32 bits are 0xFFFFFF38.

Setting the CPSR flags is optional, and is controlled by the S bit in the instruction. The N (Negative) and Z (Zero) flags are set correctly on the result (N is made equal to bit 31 of the result, and Z is set if and only if the result is zero).

The result of this calculation may be written back into the base register if auto-indexing is required.

4.7.1 Offsets and auto-indexing
The offset from the base may be either a 12-bit unsigned binary immediate value in the instruction, or a second register (possibly shifted in some way). The offset may be added to (U=1) or subtracted from (U=0) the base register Rn. The offset modification may be performed either before (pre-indexed, P=1) or after (post-indexed, P=0) the base is used as the transfer address. The W bit gives optional auto increment and decrement addressing modes. The modified base value may be written back into the base (W=1), or the old base value may be kept (W=0). In the case of post-indexed addressing, the write back bit is redundant and is always set to zero, since the old base value can be retained by setting the offset to zero. Therefore post-indexed data transfers always write back the modified base. The only use of the W bit in a post-indexed data transfer is in privileged mode code, where setting the W bit forces non-privileged mode for the transfer, allowing the operating system to generate a user address in a system where the memory management hardware makes suitable use of this hardware.
4.7.2 Shifted register offset
The 8 shift control bits are described in the data processing instructions section. However, the register specified shift amounts are not available in this instruction class. See *4.4.2 Shifts on page 4-11.
4.7.3 Bytes and words
This instruction class may be used to transfer a byte (B=1) or a word (B=0) between an ARM610 register and memory. The action of LDR(B) and STR(B) instructions is influenced by the BIGEND control signal. The two possible configurations are described below. Little-endian configuration A byte load (LDRB) expects the data on data bus inputs 7 through 0 if the supplied address is on a word boundary, on data bus inputs 15 through 8 if it is a word address plus one byte, and so on. The selected byte is placed in the bottom 8 bits of the destination register, and the remaining bits of the register are filled with zeros. Please see *Figure 3-2: Little endian addresses of bytes within words on page 3-3. A byte store (STRB) repeats the bottom 8 bits of the source register four times across data bus outputs 31 through 0. The external memory system should activate the appropriate byte subsystem to store the data. A word load (LDR) will normally use a word aligned address. However, an address offset from a word boundary will cause the data to be rotated into the register so that the addressed byte occupies bits 0 to 7. This means that halfwords accessed at offsets 0 and 2 from the word boundary will be correctly loaded into bits 0 through 15 of the register. Two shift operations are then required to clear or to sign extend the upper 16 bits. This is illustrated in *Figure 4-13: Little-endian offset addressing on page 4-26.

Figure 4-13: Little-endian offset addressing
A word store (STR) should generate a word aligned address. The word presented to the data bus is not affected if the address is not word aligned. That is, bit 31 of the register being stored always appears on data bus output 31. Big-endian configuration A byte load (LDRB) expects the data on data bus inputs 31 through 24 if the supplied address is on a word boundary, on data bus inputs 23 through 16 if it is a word address plus one byte, and so on. The selected byte is placed in the bottom 8 bits of the destination register and the remaining bits of the register are filled with zeros. Please see *Figure 3-1: Big endian addresses of bytes within words on page 3-3. A byte store (STRB) repeats the bottom 8 bits of the source register four times across data bus outputs 31 through 0. The external memory system should activate the appropriate byte subsystem to store the data. A word load (LDR) should generate a word aligned address. An address offset of 0 or 2 from a word boundary will cause the data to be rotated into the register so that the addressed byte occupies bits 31 through 24. This means that halfwords accessed at these offsets will be correctly loaded into bits 16 through 31 of the register. A shift operation is then required to move (and optionally sign extend) the data into the bottom 16 bits. An address offset of 1 or 3 from a word boundary will cause the data to be rotated into the register so that the addressed byte occupies bits 15 through 8.

Instruction Set - LDR, STR
A word store (STR) should generate a word aligned address. The word presented to the data bus is not affected if the address is not word aligned. That is, bit 31 of the register being stored always appears on data bus output 31.
4.7.4 Use of R15
Write-back must not be specified if R15 is specified as the base register (Rn). When using R15 as the base register you must remember it contains an address 8 bytes on from the address of the current instruction. R15 must not be specified as the register offset (Rm). When R15 is the source register (Rd) of a register store (STR) instruction, the stored value will be address of the instruction plus 12.
4.7.5 Restriction on the use of base register
When configured for late aborts, the following example code is difficult to unwind as the base register, Rn, gets updated before the abort handler starts. Sometimes it may be impossible to calculate the initial value. After an abort, the following example code is difficult to unwind as the base register, Rn, gets updated before the abort handler starts. Sometimes it may be impossible to calculate the initial value. Example: LDR R0,[R1],R1 Therefore a post-indexed LDR or STR where Rm is the same register as Rn should not be used.
4.7.6 Data aborts
A transfer to or from a legal address may cause problems for a memory management system. For instance, in a system which uses virtual memory the required data may be absent from main memory. The memory manager can signal a problem by taking the processor ABORT input HIGH whereupon the Data Abort trap will be taken. It is up to the system software to resolve the cause of the problem, then the instruction can be restarted and the original program continued.
4.7.7 Instruction cycle times
Normal LDR instructions take 1S + 1N + 1I and LDR PC take 2S + 2N +1I incremental cycles, where S,N and I are as defined in *6.2 Cycle Types on page 6-2. STR instructions take 2N incremental cycles to execute.

The instruction is only executed if the condition is true. The various conditions are defined in *Table 4-2: Condition code summary on page 4-6. The instruction encoding is shown in *Figure 4-14: Halfword and signed data transfer with register offset, below, and *Figure 4-15: Halfword and signed data transfer with immediate offset on page 4-31. These instructions are used to load or store halfwords of data and also load sign-extended bytes or halfwords of data. The memory address used in the transfer is calculated by adding an offset to or subtracting an offset from a base register. The result of this calculation may be written back into the base register if auto-indexing is required.

Figure 4-15: Halfword and signed data transfer with immediate offset
4.8.1 Offsets and auto-indexing
The offset from the base may be either a 8-bit unsigned binary immediate value in the instruction, or a second register. The 8-bit offset is formed by concatenating bits 11 to 8 and bits 3 to 0 of the instruction word, such that bit 11 becomes the MSB and bit 0 becomes the LSB. The offset may be added to (U=1) or subtracted from (U=0) the base register Rn. The offset modification may be performed either before (pre-indexed, P=1) or after (post-indexed, P=0) the base register is used as the transfer address. The W bit gives optional auto-increment and decrement addressing modes. The modified base value may be written back into the base (W=1), or the old base may be kept (W=0). In the case of post-indexed addressing, the write back bit is redundant and is always set to zero, since the old base value can be retained if necessary by setting the offset to zero. Therefore post-indexed data transfers always write back the modified base. The Write-back bit should not be set high (W=1) when post-indexed addressing is selected.

4.8.2 Halfword load and stores
Setting S=0 and H=1 may be used to transfer unsigned halfwords between an ARM610 register and memory. The action of LDRH and STRH instructions is influenced by the BIGEND control signal. The two possible configurations are described in the section below.
4.8.3 Signed byte and halfword loads
The S bit controls the loading of sign-extended data. When S=1 the H bit selects between Bytes (H=0) and halfwords (H=1). The L bit should not be set low (Store) when Signed (S=1) operations have been selected. The LDRSB instruction loads the selected Byte into bits 7 to 0 of the destination register and bits 31 to 8 of the destination register are set to the value of bit 7, the sign bit. The LDRSH instruction loads the selected halfword into bits 15 to 0 of the destination register and bits 31 to 16 of the destination register are set to the value of bit 15, the sign bit.
Open Access
The action of the LDRSB and LDRSH instructions is influenced by the BIGEND control signal. The two possible configurations are described in the following section.
4.8.4 Endianness and byte/halfword selection
Little-endian configuration A signed byte load (LDRSB) expects data on data bus inputs 7 through to 0 if the supplied address is on a word boundary, on data bus inputs 15 through to 8 if it is a word address plus one byte, and so on. The selected byte is placed in the bottom 8 bit of the destination register, and the remaining bits of the register are filled with the sign bit, bit 7 of the byte. Please see *Figure 3-2: Little endian addresses of bytes within words on page 3-3 A halfword load (LDRSH or LDRH) expects data on data bus inputs 15 through to 0 if the supplied address is on a word boundary and on data bus inputs 31 through to 16 if it is a halfword boundary, (A[1]=1).The supplied address should always be on a halfword boundary. If bit 0 of the supplied address is HIGH, the ARM610 will load an unpredictable value. The selected halfword is placed in the bottom 16 bits of the destination register. For unsigned halfwords (LDRH), the top 16 bits of the register are filled with zeros and for signed halfwords (LDRSH) the top 16 bits are filled with the sign bit, bit 15 of the halfword. A halfword store (STRH) repeats the bottom 16 bits of the source register twice across the data bus outputs 31 through to 0. The external memory system should activate the appropriate halfword subsystem to store the data. Note that the address must be halfword aligned, if bit 0 of the address is HIGH this will cause unpredictable behaviour.

Big-endian configuration A signed byte load (LDRSB) expects data on data bus inputs 31 through to 24 if the supplied address is on a word boundary, on data bus inputs 23 through to 16 if it is a word address plus one byte, and so on. The selected byte is placed in the bottom 8 bits of the destination register, and the remaining bits of the register are filled with the sign bit, bit 7 of the byte. Please see *Figure 3-1: Big endian addresses of bytes within words on page 3-3 A halfword load (LDRSH or LDRH) expects data on data bus inputs 31 through to 16 if the supplied address is on a word boundary and on data bus inputs 15 through to 0 if it is a halfword boundary, (A[1]=1). The supplied address should always be on a halfword boundary. If bit 0 of the supplied address is HIGH then the ARM610 will load an unpredictable value. The selected halfword is placed in the bottom 16 bits of the destination register. For unsigned halfwords (LDRH), the top 16 bits of the register are filled with zeros and for signed halfwords (LDRSH) the top 16 bits are filled with the sign bit, bit 15 of the halfword.

The external memory system should activate the appropriate halfword subsystem to store the data. Note that the address must be halfword aligned, if bit 0 of the address is HIGH this will cause unpredictable behaviour.
4.8.5 Use of R15
Writeback should not be specified if R15 is specified as the base register (Rn). When using R15 as the base register you must remember it contains an address 8 bytes on from the address of the current instruction. R15 should not be specified as the register offset (Rm). When R15 is the source register (Rd) of a halfword store (STRH) instruction, the stored address will be address of the instruction plus 12.
4.8.6 Data aborts
A transfer to or from a legal address may cause problems for a memory management system. For instance, in a system which uses virtual memory the required data may be absent from the main memory. The memory manager can signal a problem by taking the processor ABORT input HIGH whereupon the Data Abort trap will be taken. It is up to the system software to resolve the cause of the problem, then the instruction can be restarted and the original program continued.
4.8.7 Instruction cycle times
Normal LDR(H,SH,SB) instructions take 1S + 1N + 1I LDR(H,SH,SB) PC take 2S + 2N + 1I incremental cycles. S,N and I are defined in*6.2 Cycle Types on page 6-2. STRH instructions take 2N incremental cycles to execute.

4.9 Block Data Transfer (LDM, STM)
The instruction is only executed if the condition is true. The various conditions are defined in *Table 4-2: Condition code summary on page 4-6. The instruction encoding is shown in *Figure 4-16: Block data transfer instructions. Block data transfer instructions are used to load (LDM) or store (STM) any subset of the currently visible registers. They support all possible stacking modes, maintaining full or empty stacks which can grow up or down memory, and are very efficient instructions for saving or restoring context, or for moving large blocks of data around main memory.
4.9.1 The register list
The instruction can cause the transfer of any registers in the current bank (and non-user mode programs can also transfer to and from the user bank, see below). The register list is a 16-bit field in the instruction, with each bit corresponding to a register. A 1 in bit 0 of the register field will cause R0 to be transferred, a 0 will cause it not to be transferred; similarly bit 1 controls the transfer of R1, and so on. Any subset of the registers, or all the registers, may be specified. The only restriction is that the register list should not be empty.
Open Access
Whenever R15 is stored to memory the stored value is the address of the STM instruction plus 12.

4.9.2 Addressing modes
The transfer addresses are determined by the contents of the base register (Rn), the pre/post bit (P) and the up/down bit (U). The registers are transferred in the order lowest to highest, so R15 (if in the list) will always be transferred last. The lowest register also gets transferred to/from the lowest memory address. By way of illustration, consider the transfer of R1, R5 and R7 in the case where Rn=0x1000 and write back of the modified base is required (W=1). *Figure 4-17: Post-increment addressing, *Figure 4-18: Pre-increment addressing, *Figure 4-19: Post-decrement addressing and *Figure 4-20: Pre-decrement addressing show the sequence of register transfers, the addresses used, and the value of Rn after the instruction has completed. In all cases, had write back of the modified base not been required (W=0), Rn would have retained its initial value of 0x1000 unless it was also in the transfer list of a load multiple register instruction, when it would have been overwritten with the loaded value.
4.9.3 Address alignment
The address should normally be a word aligned quantity and non-word aligned addresses do not affect the instruction. However, the bottom 2 bits of the address will appear on A[1:0] and might be interpreted by the memory system.

4.9.4 Use of the S bit
When the S bit is set in a LDM/STM instruction its meaning depends on whether or not R15 is in the transfer list and on the type of instruction. The S bit should only be set if the instruction is to execute in a privileged mode. LDM with R15 in transfer list and S bit set (Mode changes) If the instruction is a LDM then SPSR_ is transferred to CPSR at the same time as R15 is loaded. STM with R15 in transfer list and S bit set (User bank transfer) The registers transferred are taken from the User bank rather than the bank corresponding to the current mode. This is useful for saving the user state on process switches. Base write-back should not be used when this mechanism is employed. R15 not in list and S bit set (User bank transfer) For both LDM and STM instructions, the User bank registers are transferred rather than the register bank corresponding to the current mode. This is useful for saving the user state on process switches. Base write-back should not be used when this mechanism is employed. When the instruction is LDM, care must be taken not to read from a banked register during the following cycle (inserting a dummy instruction such as MOV R0, R0 after the LDM will ensure safety).

Open Access
Instruction Set - LDM, STM
4.9.5 Use of R15 as the base
R15 should not be used as the base register in any LDM or STM instruction.
4.9.6 Inclusion of the base in the register list
When write-back is specified, the base is written back at the end of the second cycle of the instruction. During a STM, the first register is written out at the start of the second cycle. A STM which includes storing the base, with the base as the first register to be stored, will therefore store the unchanged value, whereas with the base second or later in the transfer order, will store the modified value. A LDM will always overwrite the updated base if the base is in the list.
4.9.7 Data aborts
Some legal addresses may be unacceptable to a memory management system, and the memory manager can indicate a problem with an address by taking the ABORT signal HIGH. This can happen on any transfer during a multiple register load or store, and must be recoverable if ARM610 is to be used in a virtual memory system. Aborts during STM instructions If the abort occurs during a store multiple instruction, ARM610 takes little action until the instruction completes, whereupon it enters the data abort trap. The memory manager is responsible for preventing erroneous writes to the memory. The only change to the internal state of the processor will be the modification of the base register if write-back was specified, and this must be reversed by software (and the cause of the abort resolved) before the instruction may be retried. Aborts during LDM instructions When ARM610 detects a data abort during a load multiple instruction, it modifies the operation of the instruction to ensure that recovery is possible. 1 Overwriting of registers stops when the abort happens. The aborting load will not take place but earlier ones may have overwritten registers. The PC is always the last register to be written and so will always be preserved.
Open Access
The base register is restored, to its modified value if write-back was requested. This ensures recoverability in the case where the base register is also in the transfer list, and may have been overwritten before the abort occurred. The data abort trap is taken when the load multiple has completed, and the system software must undo any base modification (and resolve the cause of the abort) before restarting the instruction.

The F and E refer to a "full" or "empty" stack, i.e. whether a pre-index has to be done (full) before storing to the stack. The A and D refer to whether the stack is ascending or descending. If ascending, a STM will go up and LDM down, if descending, vice-versa. IA, IB, DA, DB allow control when LDM/STM are not being used for stacks and simply mean Increment After, Increment Before, Decrement After, Decrement Before.

The instruction is only executed if the condition is true. The various conditions are defined in *Table 4-2: Condition code summary on page 4-6. The instruction encoding is shown in *Figure 4-21: Swap instruction. The data swap instruction is used to swap a byte or word quantity between a register and external memory. This instruction is implemented as a memory read followed by a memory write which are "locked" together (the processor cannot be interrupted until both operations have completed, and the memory manager is warned to treat them as inseparable). This class of instruction is particularly useful for implementing software semaphores. The swap address is determined by the contents of the base register (Rn). The processor first reads the contents of the swap address. Then it writes the contents of the source register (Rm) to the swap address, and stores the old memory contents in the destination register (Rd). The same register may be specified as both the source and destination. The LOCK output goes HIGH for the duration of the read and write operations to signal to the external memory manager that they are locked together, and should be allowed to complete without interruption. This is important in multi-processor systems where the swap instruction is the only indivisible instruction which may be used to implement semaphores; control of the memory must not be removed from a processor while it is performing a locked operation.
4.10.1 Bytes and words
This instruction class may be used to swap a byte (B=1) or a word (B=0) between an ARM610 register and memory. The SWP instruction is implemented as a LDR followed by a STR and the action of these is as described in the section on single data transfers. In particular, the description of big and little-endian configuration applies to the SWP instruction.

It is up to the system software to resolve the cause of the problem, then the instruction can be restarted and the original program continued.

The software interrupt instruction is used to enter Supervisor mode in a controlled manner. The instruction causes the software interrupt trap to be taken, which effects the mode change. The PC is then forced to a fixed value (0x08) and the CPSR is saved in SPSR_svc. If the SWI vector address is suitably protected (by external memory management hardware) from modification by the user, a fully protected operating system may be constructed.
4.11.1 Return from the supervisor
The PC is saved in R14_svc upon entering the software interrupt trap, with the PC adjusted to point to the word after the SWI instruction. MOVS PC,R14_svc will return to the calling program and restore the CPSR. Note that the link mechanism is not re-entrant, so if the supervisor code wishes to use software interrupts within itself it must first save a copy of the return address and SPSR.

4.12.1 The coprocessor fields
Only bit 4 and bits 24 to 31 are significant to ARM610. The remaining bits are used by coprocessors. The above field names are used by convention, and particular coprocessors may redefine the use of all fields except CP# as appropriate. The CP# field is used to contain an identifying number (in the range 0 to 15) for each coprocessor, and a coprocessor will ignore any instruction which does not contain its number in the CP# field. The conventional interpretation of the instruction is that the coprocessor should perform an operation specified in the CP Opc field (and possibly in the CP field) on the contents of CRn and CRm, and place the result in CRd.
4.12.2 Instruction cycle times
Coprocessor data operations take 1S + bI incremental cycles to execute, where b is the number of cycles spent in the coprocessor busy-wait loop. S and I are as defined in *6.2 Cycle Types on page 6-2.

The instruction is only executed if the condition is true. The various conditions are defined in *Table 4-2: Condition code summary on page 4-6. The instruction encoding is shown in *Figure 4-24: Coprocessor data transfer instructions. This class of instruction is used to load (LDC) or store (STC) a subset of a coprocessors's registers directly to memory. ARM610 is responsible for supplying the memory address, and the coprocessor supplies or accepts the data and controls the number of words transferred.

4.13.1 The coprocessor fields
The CP# field is used to identify the coprocessor which is required to supply or accept the data, and a coprocessor will only respond if its number matches the contents of this field. The CRd field and the N bit contain information for the coprocessor which may be interpreted in different ways by different coprocessors, but by convention CRd is the register to be transferred (or the first register where more than one is to be transferred), and the N bit is used to choose one of two transfer length options. For instance N=0 could select the transfer of a single register, and N=1 could select the transfer of all the registers for context switching.

Instruction Set - LDC, STC
4.13.2 Addressing modes
ARM610 is responsible for providing the address used by the memory system for the transfer, and the addressing modes available are a subset of those used in single data transfer instructions. Note, however, that the immediate offsets are 8 bits wide and specify word offsets for coprocessor data transfers, whereas they are 12 bits wide and specify byte offsets for single data transfers. The 8-bit unsigned immediate offset is shifted left 2 bits and either added to (U=1) or subtracted from (U=0) the base register (Rn); this calculation may be performed either before (P=1) or after (P=0) the base is used as the transfer address. The modified base value may be overwritten back into the base register (if W=1), or the old value of the base may be preserved (W=0). Note that post-indexed addressing modes require explicit setting of the W bit, unlike LDR and STR which always write-back when postindexed. The value of the base register, modified by the offset in a pre-indexed instruction, is used as the address for the transfer of the first word. The second word (if more than one is transferred) will go to or come from an address one word (4 bytes) higher than the first transfer, and the address will be incremented by one word for each subsequent transfer.
Open Access
4.13.3 Address alignment
The base address should normally be a word-aligned quantity. The bottom 2 bits of the address will appear on A[1:0] and might be interpreted by the memory system.
4.13.4 Use of R15
If Rn is R15, the value used will be the address of the instruction plus 8 bytes. Base write-back to R15 must not be specified.
4.13.5 Data aborts
If the address is legal but the memory manager generates an abort, the data trap will be taken. The writeback of the modified base will take place, but all other processor state will be preserved. The coprocessor is partly responsible for ensuring that the data transfer can be restarted after the cause of the abort has been resolved, and must ensure that any subsequent actions it undertakes can be repeated when the instruction is retried.
4.13.6 Instruction cycle times
Coprocessor data transfer instructions take (n-1)S + 2N + bI incremental cycles to execute, where: n b is the number of words transferred. is the number of cycles spent in the coprocessor busy-wait loop.
S, N and I are as defined in *6.2 Cycle Types on page 6-2.

4.14 Coprocessor Register Transfers (MRC, MCR)
The instruction is only executed if the condition is true. The various conditions are defined in *Table 4-2: Condition code summary on page 4-6. The instruction encoding is shown in *Figure 4-25: Coprocessor register transfer instructions. This class of instruction is used to communicate information directly between ARM610 and a coprocessor. An example of a coprocessor to ARM610 register transfer (MRC) instruction would be a FIX of a floating point value held in a coprocessor, where the floating point number is converted into a 32-bit integer within the coprocessor, and the result is then transferred to ARM610 register. A FLOAT of a 32-bit value in ARM610 register into a floating point value within the coprocessor illustrates the use of ARM610 register to coprocessor transfer (MCR). An important use of this instruction is to communicate control information directly from the coprocessor into the ARM610 CPSR flags. As an example, the result of a comparison of two floating point values within a coprocessor can be moved to the CPSR to control the subsequent flow of execution.

4.14.1 The coprocessor fields
The CP# field is used, as for all coprocessor instructions, to specify which coprocessor is being called upon. The CP Opc, CRn, CP and CRm fields are used only by the coprocessor, and the interpretation presented here is derived from convention only. Other interpretations are allowed where the coprocessor functionality is incompatible with this one. The conventional interpretation is that the CP Opc and CP fields specify the operation the coprocessor is required to perform, CRn is the coprocessor register which is the source or destination of the transferred information, and CRm is a second coprocessor register which may be involved in some way which depends on the particular operation specified.

4.14.2 Transfers to R15
When a coprocessor register transfer to ARM610 has R15 as the destination, bits 31, 30, 29 and 28 of the transferred word are copied into the N, Z, C and V flags respectively. The other bits of the transferred word are ignored, and the PC and other CPSR bits are unaffected by the transfer.
4.14.3 Transfers from R15
A coprocessor register transfer from ARM610 with R15 as the source register will store the PC+12.

4.16.2 Pseudo-random binary sequence generator
It is often necessary to generate (pseudo-) random numbers and the most efficient algorithms are based on shift generators with exclusive-OR feedback rather like a cyclic redundancy check generator. Unfortunately the sequence of a 32-bit generator needs more than one feedback tap to be maximal length (i.e. 2^32-1 cycles before repetition), so this example uses a 33-bit register with taps at bits 33 and 20. The basic algorithm is newbit:=bit 33 eor bit 20, shift left the 33-bit number and put in newbit at the bottom; this operation is performed for all the newbits needed (i.e. 32 bits). The entire operation can be done in 5 S cycles: ; Enter with seed in Ra (32 bits), Rb (1 bit in Rb lsb), uses Rc. ; ; Top bit into carry ; 33-bit rotate right ; carry into lsb of Rb ; (involved!) ; (similarly involved!) ; new seed in Ra, Rb as before

5.1 Configuration
The operation and configuration of ARM610 is controlled both directly via coprocessor instructions and indirectly via the Memory Management Page tables. The coprocessor instructions manipulate a number of on-chip registers which control the configuration of the Cache, write buffer, MMU and a number of other configuration options. To ensure backwards compatibility of future CPUs, all reserved or unused bits in registers and coprocessor instructions should be programmed to '0'. Invalid registers must not be read or written. The following bits should be programmed to '0'. Register 1 bits[31:9] Register 2 bits[13:0] Register 5 bits[31:0] Register 6 bits[11:0] Register 7 bits[31:0] Note:
The grey areas in the register and translation diagrams are reserved and should be programmed 0 for future compatibility.
5.2
Internal Coprocessor Instructions
The on-chip registers may be read using MRC instructions and written using MCR instructions. These operations are only allowed in non-user modes and the undefined instruction trap will be taken if accesses are attempted in user mode.

Only some of registers 0-7 are valid: an access to an invalid register will cause neither the access nor an undefined instruction trap, and therefore should never be carried out; an access to any of the registers 8-15 will cause the undefined instruction trap to be taken.

Instruction and Data Cache (IDC)
6.1 Introduction
ARM610 contains a 4kByte mixed instruction and data cache. The IDC has 256 lines of 16 bytes (four words), organised as a 64-way set-associative cache, and uses the virtual addresses generated by the processor core. The IDC is always reloaded a line at a time (four words). It may be enabled or disabled via the ARM610 Control Register and is disabled on nRESET. The operation of the cache is further controlled by two bits: Cacheable and Updateable, which are stored in the Memory Management Page Tables (see *Chapter 9, Memory Management Unit). For this reason, in order to use the IDC, the MMU must be enabled. The two functions may however be enabled simultaneously, with a single write to the Control Register.
6.2
Cacheable Bit - C
The Cacheable bit determines whether data being read may be placed in the IDC and used for subsequent read operations. Typically main memory will be marked as Cacheable to improve system performance, and I/O space as Non-cacheable to stop the data being stored in ARM610's cache. For example if the processor is polling a hardware flag in I/O space, it is important that the processor is forced to read data from the external peripheral, and not a copy of initial data held in the cache. The Cacheable bit can be configured for both pages and sections.
6.3
Updateable Bit - U
The Updateable bit determines whether the data in the cache should be updated during a write operation to maintain consistency with the external memory. In certain cases automatic updating of cached data is not required: for instance, when using the MEMC1a memory manager, a read operation in the address space between 3400000H -3FFFFFFH would access the ROMs, but a write operation in the same address space would change a MEMC register, and should not affect the cached ROM data. The Updateable bit can only be configured by the Level One descriptor: that is an entire section or all the pages for a single Level One descriptor share the same configuration.
6.4
IDC Operation
When the processor performs a read or write operation, the translation entry for that address is inspected and the state of the cacheable and updateable bits determines the subsequent action.
6.4.1 Cacheable reads
C=1
The cache is searched for the relevant data; if found in the cache, the data is fed to the processor using a fast clock cycle (from FCLK). If the data is not found in the cache, an external memory access is initiated to read the appropriate line of data (four words) from external memory and it is stored in a pseudo-randomly chosen entry in the cache (a linefetch operation).
6-2
ARM610 Data Sheet
Instruction and Data Cache (IDC)
6.4.2 Uncacheable reads C=0
The cache is not searched for the relevant data; instead an external memory access is initiated. No linefetch operation is performed, and the cache is not updated.
6.4.3 Updateable writes
U=1
An external memory access is initiated, and the cache is searched; if the cache holds a copy of the data from the address being written to, then the cache data is simultaneously updated.
6.4.4 Non-updateable writes
U=0
An external memory access is initiated, but the cache is not searched and the contents of the cache are not affected.
6.5
IDC Validity
The IDC operates with virtual addresses, so care must be taken to ensure that its contents remain consistent with the virtual to physical mappings performed by the Memory Management Unit. If the Memory Mappings are changed, the IDC validity must be ensured.
6.5.1 Software IDC flush
The entire IDC may be marked as invalid by writing to the ARM610 IDC Flush Register (Register 7). The cache will be flushed immediately the register is written, but note that the following two instruction fetches may come from the cache before the register is written.
6.5.2 Doubly mapped space
Since the cache works with virtual addresses, it is assumed that every virtual address maps to a different physical address. If the same physical location is accessed by more than one virtual address, the cache cannot maintain consistency, since each virtual address will have a separate entry in the cache, and only one entry will be updated on a processor write operation. To avoid any cache inconsistencies, both doubly-mapped virtual addresses should be marked as uncacheable.
6.6
Read-Lock-Write
The IDC treats the Read-Locked-Write instruction as a special case. The read phase always forces a read of external memory, regardless of whether the data is contained in the cache. The write phase is treated as a normal write operation (and if marked as updateable, and the data is already in the cache, the cache will be updated). Externally the two phases are flagged as indivisible by asserting the LOCK signal.
ARM610 Data Sheet
6-3
Instruction and Data Cache (IDC)
6.7 IDC Enable/Disable and Reset
The IDC is automatically disabled and flushed on nRESET. Once enabled, cacheable read accesses will cause lines to be placed in the cache. If subsequently disabled, no new lines will be placed in the cache, and the cache is not searched, but, updateable write operations will continue to operate, thus maintaining consistency with the external memory. If the cache is subsequently re-enabled, it must be flushed if data already in the cache no longer matches that in external memory.
6.7.1 To enable the IDC
To enable the IDC, make sure that the MMU is enabled first by setting bit 0 in Control Register, then enable the IDC by setting bit 2 in Control Register. The MMU and IDC may be enabled simultaneously with a single control register write.
6.7.2 To disable the IDC
To disable the IDC clear bit 2 in Control Register. Note
Updateable writes continue but no linefetches are performed. To fully inhibit the cache's operation it should be disabled and then flushed to ensure it contains no valid entries.

Write Buffer (WB)
7.1 Introduction
The ARM610 write buffer is provided to improve system performance. It can buffer up to eight words of data, and two independent addresses. It may be enabled or disabled via the W bit (bit 3) in the ARM610 Control Register and the buffer is disabled and flushed on reset. The operation of the write buffer is further controlled by one bit, B, or Bufferable, which is stored in the Memory Management Page Tables. For this reason, in order to use the write buffer, the MMU must be enabled. The two functions may however be enabled simultaneously, with a single write to the Control Register. For a write to use the write buffer, both the W bit in the Control Register, and the B bit in the corresponding page table must be set.
7.2
Bufferable Bit
This bit controls whether a write operation may or may not use the write buffer. Typically main memory will be bufferable and I/O space unbufferable. The Bufferable bit can be configured for both pages and sections.
7.3
Write Buffer Operation
When the CPU performs a write operation, the translation entry for that address is inspected and the state of the B bit determines the subsequent action. If the write buffer is disabled via the ARM610 Control Register, bufferable writes are treated in the same way as unbuffered writes.
7.3.1 Bufferable write
If the write buffer is enabled and the processor performs a write to a bufferable area, the data is placed in the write buffer at FCLK speeds and the CPU continues execution. The write buffer then performs the external write in parallel. If however the write buffer is full (either because there are already eight words of data in the buffer, or because there is no slot for the new address) then the processor is stalled until there is sufficient space in the buffer.
7.3.2 Unbufferable writes
If the write buffer is disabled or the CPU performs a write to an unbufferable area, the processor is stalled until the write buffer empties and the write completes externally, which may require synchronisation and several external clock cycles.
7.3.3 Read-lock-write
The write phase of a read-lock-write sequence is treated as an Unbuffered write, even if it is marked as buffered. Note
A single write requires one address slot and one data slot in the write buffer; a sequential write of n words requires one address slot and n data slots. The total of 8 data slots in the buffer may be used as required. So for instance there could be one non-sequential write and one sequential write of seven words in the buffer, and the processor could continue as normal: a third write or an eighth word in the second write would stall the processor until the first write had completed.

Write Buffer (WB)
7.3.4 To enable the write buffer
To enable the write buffer, ensure the MMU is enabled by setting bit 0 in Control Register, then enable the write buffer by setting bit 3 in Control Register. The MMU and write buffer may be enabled simultaneously with a single write to the Control Register.
7.3.5 To disable the write buffer
To disable the write buffer, clear bit 3 in Control Register. Note
Any writes already in the write buffer will complete normally.

ARM610 has no external coprocessor bus, so it is not possible to add external coprocessors to this device. ARM610 does have an internal coprocessor designated #15 for internal control of the device. If a coprocessor other than #15 is accessed, the CPU will take the undefined instruction trap.

Memory Management Unit
9.1 Memory Management Unit (MMU)
The MMU performs two primary functions: it translates virtual addresses into physical addresses, and it controls memory access permissions. The MMU hardware required to perform these functions consists of a Translation Look-aside Buffer (TLB), access control logic, and translation table walking logic. The MMU supports memory accesses based on Sections or Pages. Sections are comprised of 1MB blocks of memory. Two different page sizes are supported: Small Pages consist of 4Kb blocks of memory and Large Pages consist of 64Kb blocks of memory. (Large Pages are supported to allow mapping of a large region of memory while using only a single entry in the TLB). Additional access control mechanisms are extended within Small Pages to 1Kb Sub-Pages and within Large Pages to 16Kb SubPages. The MMU also supports the concept of domains--areas of memory that can be defined to possess individual access rights. The Domain Access Control Register is used to specify access rights for up to 16 separate domains. The TLB caches 32 translated entries. During most memory accesses, the TLB provides the translation information to the access control logic. If the TLB contains a translated entry for the virtual address, the access control logic determines whether access is permitted. If access is permitted, the MMU outputs the appropriate physical address corresponding to the virtual address. If access is not permitted, the MMU signals the CPU to abort. If the TLB misses (ie. does not contain a translated entry for the virtual address), the translation table walk hardware is invoked to retrieve the translation information from a translation table in physical memory. Once retrieved, the translation information is placed into the TLB, possibly overwriting an existing value. The entry to be overwritten is chosen by cycling sequentially through the TLB locations. When the MMU is turned off (as happens on reset), the virtual address is output directly onto the physical address bus.
9.2
MMU Program Accessible Registers
The ARM610 Processor provides several 32-bit registers which determine the operation of the MMU. The format for these registers is shown in *Figure 0-1: MMU register summary on page -3. A brief description of the registers is provided below. Each register will be discussed in more detail within the section that describes its use. Data is written to and read from the MMU's registers using the ARM CPU's MRC and MCR coprocessor instructions.

Translation Table Base Register This holds the physical address of the base of the translation table maintained in main memory. Note that this base must reside on a 16Kb boundary. Domain Access Control Register This consists of sixteen 2-bit fields, each of which defines the access permissions for one of the sixteen Domains (D15-D0). Note
The registers not shown are reserved and should not be used.
Fault Status Register This indicates the domain and type of access being attempted when an abort occurred. Bits 7:4 specify which of the sixteen domains (D15-D0) was being accessed when a fault occurred. Bits 3:1 indicate the type of access being attempted. The encoding of these bits is different for internal and external faults (as indicated by bit 0 in the register) and is shown in *Table 9-4: Priority encoding of fault status on page 9-12. A write to this register flushes the TLB. Fault Address Register This holds the virtual address of the access which was attempted when a fault occurred. A write to this register causes the data written to be treated as an address and, if it is found in the TLB, the entry is marked as invalid. (This operation is known as a TLB purge). The Fault Status Register and Fault Address Register are only updated for data faults, not for prefetch faults.
9.3
Address Translation
The MMU translates virtual addresses generated by the CPU into physical addresses to access external memory, and also derives and checks the access permission. Translation information, which consists of both the address translation data and the
ARM610 Data Sheet
9-3
Memory Management Unit
access permission data, resides in a translation table located in physical memory. The MMU provides the logic needed to traverse this translation table, obtain the translated address, and check the access permission. There are three routes by which the address translation (and hence the permission check) takes place. The route taken depends on whether the address in question has been marked as a section-mapped access or a page-mapped access; and there are two sizes of page-mapped access (large pages and small pages). However, the translation process always starts out in the same way, as described below, with a Level One fetch. A section-mapped access only requires a Level One fetch, but a pagemapped access also requires a Level Two fetch.
9.4
Translation Process
9.4.1 Translation Table Base
The translation process is initiated when the on-chip TLB does not contain an entry for the requested virtual address. The Translation Table Base (TTB) Register points to the base of a table in physical memory which contains Section and/or Page descriptors. The 14 low-order bits of the TTB Register are set to zero as illustrated in *Figure 9-2: Translation table base register; the table must reside on a 16Kb boundary.

9.4.2 Level One Fetch
Bits 31:14 of the Translation Table Base register are concatenated with bits 31:20 of the virtual address to produce a 30-bit address as illustrated in *Figure 9-3: Accessing the translation table first level descriptors. This address selects a four-byte translation table entry which is a First Level Descriptor for either a Section or a Page (bit 1 of the descriptor returned specifies whether it is for a Section or Page).

C - Cacheable: indicates that data at this address will be placed in the cache (if the cache is enabled). B - Bufferable: indicates that data at this address will be written through the write buffer (if the write buffer is enabled). Bits 8:5 specify one of the sixteen possible domains (held in the Domain Access Control Register) that contain the primary access controls. Bits 11:10 (AP) specify the access permissions for this section and are interpreted as shown in *Table 9-2: Interpreting access permission (AP) Bits. Their interpretation is dependent upon the setting of the S bit (Control Register bit 8). Note that the Domain Access Control specifies the primary access control; the AP bits only have an effect in client mode. Refer to section on access permissions.

9.12 MMU Faults and CPU Aborts
The MMU generates four types of faults: * * * Alignment Translation Domain
* Permission In addition, an external abort may be raised on external data access. The access control mechanisms of the MMU detect the conditions that produce these faults. If a fault is detected as the result of a memory access, the MMU will abort the access and signal the fault condition to the CPU. The MMU is also capable of retaining status and address information about the abort. The CPU recognises two types of abort: data aborts and prefetch aborts, and these are treated differently by the MMU. If the MMU detects an access violation, it will do so before the external memory access takes place, and it will therefore inhibit the access. External aborts will not necessarily inhibit the external access, as described in the section on external aborts.
9.13 Fault Address and Fault Status Registers (FAR and FSR)
Aborts resulting from data accesses (data aborts) are acted upon by the CPU immediately, and the MMU places an encoded 4-bit value FS[3:0], along with the 4-bit encoded Domain number, in the Fault Status Register (FSR). In addition, the virtual processor address which caused the data abort is latched into the Fault Address Register (FAR). If an access violation simultaneously generates more than one source of abort, they are encoded in the priority given in *Table 9-4: Priority encoding of fault status. CPU instructions on the other hand are prefetched, so a prefetch abort simply flags the instruction as it enters the instruction pipeline. Only when (and if) the instruction is executed does it cause an abort; an abort is not acted upon if the instruction is not used (ie. it is branched around). Because instruction prefetch aborts may or may not be acted upon, the MMU status information is not preserved for the resulting CPU abort; for a prefetch abort, the MMU does not update the FSR or FAR. The sections that follow describe the various access permissions and controls supported by the MMU and detail how these are interpreted to generate faults.

In fact this register will contain bits[8:5] of the Level 1 entry which are undefined, but would encode the domain in a valid entry. The Write Buffer Bus Error is asynchronous and not restartable. The Fault Address Register reflects the first data operation that could be aborted. The areas of memory which generate external aborts should not be marked as bufferable. The entry will be valid if the error was flagged on word 0 of the linefetch. Otherwise the domain and FAR may be invalid and the cache line may contain invalid data.

9.14 Domain Access Control
MMU accesses are primarily controlled via domains. There are 16 domains, and each has a 2-bit field to define it. Two basic kinds of users are supported: Clients and Managers. Clients use a domain; Managers control the behaviour of the domain. The domains are defined in the Domain Access Control Register. *Figure 9-9: Domain access control register format illustrates how the 32 bits of the register are allocated to define the sixteen 2-bit domains.

9.15.1 Alignment fault
If Alignment Fault is enabled (bit 1 in Control Register set), the MMU will generate an alignment fault on any data word access the address of which is not word-aligned irrespective of whether the MMU is enabled or not; in other words, if either of virtual address bits [1:0] are not 0. Alignment fault will not be generated on any instruction fetch, nor on any byte access. If the access generates an alignment fault, the access sequence will abort without reference to further permission checks.
9.15.2 Translation fault
There are two types of translation fault: section and page. 1 2 A Section Translation Fault is generated if the Level One descriptor is marked as invalid. This happens if bits [1:0] of the descriptor are both 0 or both 1. A Page Translation Fault is generated if the Page Table Entry is marked as invalid. This happens if bits [1:0] of the entry are both 0 or both 1.
9.15.3 Domain fault
There are two types of domain fault: section and page. In both cases the Level One descriptor holds the 4-bit Domain field which selects one of the sixteen 2-bit domains in the Domain Access Control Register. The two bits of the specified domain are then checked for access permissions as detailed in *Table 9-2: Interpreting access permission (AP) Bits on page 9-7. In the case of a section, the domain is checked once the Level One descriptor is returned, and in the case of a page, the domain is checked once the Page Table Entry is returned. If the specified access is either No Access (00) or Reserved (10) then either a Section Domain Fault or Page Domain Fault occurs.
9.15.4 Permission fault
There are two types of permission fault: section and sub-page. Permission fault is checked at the same time as Domain fault. If the 2-bit domain field returns client (01), then the permission access check is invoked as follows: section If the Level One descriptor defines a section-mapped access, then the AP bits of the descriptor define whether or not the access is allowed according to *Table 9-2: Interpreting access permission (AP) Bits on page 9-7. Their interpretation is dependent upon the setting of the S bit (Control Register bit 8). If the access is not allowed, then a Section Permission fault is generated. sub-page If the Level One descriptor defines a page-mapped access, then the Level Two descriptor specifies four access permission fields (ap3..ap0) each corresponding to one quarter of the page. Hence for small pages, ap3 is selected by the top 1Kb of the page, and ap0 is selected by the bottom 1Kb of the page; for large pages, ap3 is selected by the top 16Kb of the page, and ap0 is selected by the bottom 16Kb of the page. The selected AP bits are then

interpreted in exactly the same way as for a section (see *Table 9-2: Interpreting access permission (AP) Bits on page 9-7), the only difference being that the fault generated is a sub-page permission fault.
9.16 External Aborts
In addition to the MMU-generated aborts, ARM610 has an external abort pin which may be used to flag an error on an external memory access. However, some accesses aborted in this way are not restartable, so this pin must be used with great care. The following section describes the restrictions. The following accesses may be aborted and restarted safely. If any of the following are aborted the external access will cease on the next cycle. In the case of a read-lockwrite sequence in which the read aborts, the write will not happen. Uncacheable reads Unbuffered writes Level One descriptor fetch Level Two descriptor fetch read-lock-write sequence Cacheable reads (linefetches) A linefetch may be aborted safely provided the abort is flagged on word 0. In this case, the IDC will not be updated or corrupted and the access will be restartable. It is not advisable to flag an abort on any word other than word 0 of a linefetch, as the IDC will contain a corrupt line, and the instruction may not be restartable. On the external bus, an externally aborted linefetch will continue to the end as though it had not aborted. Buffered writes Buffered writes cannot be safely externally aborted. Because the processor will have moved on before the external abort is received, this class of abort is not restartable. If the system does flag this type of abort, then the Fault Status Register will record the fact, but this is a non-recoverable error, and the machine must be reset. Therefore, the system should be configured such that it does not do buffered writes to areas of memory which are capable of flagging an external abort. If a buffered write burst is externally aborted, then the external write will continue to the end.

9.17 Interaction of the MMU, IDC and Write Buffer
The MMU, IDC and WB may be enabled/disabled independently. However there are only five valid combinations. There are no hardware interlocks on these restrictions, so invalid combinations will cause undefined results.

10-1
Bus interface
10.1 Introduction
The ARM610 has two input clocks: FCLK and MCLK. The bus interface is always controlled by MCLK. The core CPU switches between these two clocks according to the operation being carried out. For example, if the core CPU is reading data from the cache it will be clocked by FCLK, whereas if it is reading data from uncached external memory it will be clocked by MCLK. The ARM610 control logic ensures that the correct clock is used internally and automatically switches between the two clocks. The ARM610 bus interface is designed to operate in synchronous mode. In this mode, there is a tightly defined relationship between FCLK and MCLK. MCLK may only make transitions on the falling edge of FCLK. An amount of jitter between the two clocks is permitted, and the device will function correctly, but MCLK must not be later than FCLK. Refer to *13.2 Relationship between FCLK and MCLK on page 13-2.
10.2 ARM610 Cycle Speed
The bus interface is controlled by MCLK, and all timing parameters are referenced with respect to this clock. The speed of the memory may be controlled in one of two ways. 1 2 The LOW and HIGH phases of the clock may be stretched. nWAIT can be used to insert entire MCLK cycles into the access. When LOW, this signal maintains the LOW phase of the cycle by gating out MCLK. nWAIT may only change when MCLK is LOW.
10.3 Cycle Types
There are two basic cycle types performed by an ARM610. These are idle cycles and memory cycles. Idle cycles and memory cycles are combined to perform memory accesses. The two cycle types are differentiated by the signal nMREQ. (SEQ is the inverse of nMREQ, and is provided for backwards compatibility with earlier memory controllers). nMREQ HIGH indicates an idle cycle, and nMREQ LOW indicates a memory access. However, nMREQ is pipelined, so that its value determines the type of the following cycle. nMREQ becomes valid during the LOW phase of the cycle before the one to which it refers. The address from ARM610 becomes valid during the HIGH phase of MCLK. It is also pipelined, and its value refers to the following memory access.
10.4 Memory Access
There are two types of memory access. These are nonsequential and sequential. The nonsequential cycles occur when a new memory access takes place. A sequential cycle occurs when: * the cycle is of the same type as the previous cycle
* the address is one word (four bytes) greater than the previous access So for example, a single word access consists of a nonsequential access, and a two-word access consists of a nonsequential access followed by a sequential access.
10-2
ARM610 Data Sheet
Bus interface
Nonsequential accesses consist of an idle cycle followed by a memory cycle, and sequential accesses consist simply of a memory cycle. In the case of a nonsequential access, the address is valid throughout the idle cycle, allowing extra time for memory decoding.
10.5 Read/Write
Memory accesses may be read or write, differentiated by the signal nRW. This signal has the same timing as the address, so is likewise pipelined, and refers to the following cycle. In the case of a write, the ARM610 outputs data on the data bus during the memory cycle. It becomes valid during MCLK LOW, and is held until the end of the cycle. In the case of a read, data is sampled at the end of the memory cycle. nRW may not change during a sequential access, so if a read from address A is followed immediately be a write to address (A+4), the write to address (A+4) will be a nonsequential access.
10.6 Byte/Word
Likewise, any memory access may be of a word or a byte quantity. These are differentiated by the signal nBW, which also has the same timing as the address, ie. it becomes valid in the HIGH phase of MCLK in the cycle before the one to which it refers. nBW LOW indicates a byte access. Again, nBW may not change during sequential accesses.
10.7 Maximum Sequential Length
As explained above, the ARM610 will perform sequential memory accesses whenever the cycle is of the same type (ie byte/word, read/write) as the previous cycle, and the addresses are consecutive. However, sequential accesses are interrupted on a 256 word boundary. This is to allow the MMU to check the translation protection as the address crosses a sub-page boundary. If a sequential access is performed over a 256 word boundary, the access to word 256 is simply turned into a nonsequential access, and then further accesses continue sequentially as before.

10.8 Memory Access Types
ARM610 performs many different bus accesses, and all are constructed out of combinations of nonsequential and sequential accesses. There may be any number of idle cycles between two other memory accesses. If a memory access is followed by an idle period on the bus (as opposed to another nonsequential access), the address, and the signal nRW and nBW, will remain at their previous value in order to avoid unnecessary bus transitions. The accesses performed by an ARM610 are: Unbuffered Write Buffered Write Linefetch Level 1 translation fetch Level 2 translation fetch Read-Lock-Write sequence See *10.8.1 Unbuffered Writes / Uncacheable Reads See *10.8.2 Buffered Write See *10.8.3 Linefetch See *10.8.4 Translation Fetches See *10.8.4 Translation Fetches See *10.8.5 Read - Lock - Write
10.8.1 Unbuffered Writes / Uncacheable Reads
These are the most basic access types. Apart from the difference between read and write, they are the same. Each may consist of a single (LDR/STR) or multiple (LDM/ STM) access. A multiple access consists of a nonsequential access followed by a sequential access. These cycles always reflect the type of the instruction requesting the cycle (ie. read/write, byte/word).
10.8.2 Buffered Write
The external bus cycle of a buffered write is identical to and indistinguishable from the bus cycle of an unbuffered write. These cycles always reflect the type (byte/word) of the instruction requesting the cycle. If several write accesses are stored concurrently within the write buffer, each access on the bus will start with a nonsequential access.
10.8.3 Linefetch
This appears on the bus as a nonsequential access followed by three sequential accesses. Linefetch accesses always start on a quad-word boundary, and are always word accesses. So if the instruction which caused the linefetch was a byte load instruction (ie. LDRB), the linefetch access will be a word access on the bus.

10.8.4 Translation Fetches
These accesses are required to obtain the translation data for an access. There are two types: Level 1 Level 2 A Level 1 access is required for a section-mapped memory location. A Level 2 access is required for a page mapped memory location. A Level 2 access is always preceded by a Level 1 access.
Translation fetches are often immediately followed by a data access. In fact the translation fetch held up the data access because the translation was not contained in the Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB). Translation fetches are always read word accesses. So if a byte or write (or both) access is not possible because the address is not contained in the TLB, the access would be preceded by the translation fetch(es), which will always be word read accesses.

10.8.5 Read - Lock - Write
The read-lock-write sequence is generated by a SWP instruction. On the bus it consists of a read access followed by a write access to the same address, and both are treated as nonsequential accesses. The cycle is differentiated by the LOCK signal. LOCK has the timing of address, ie. it goes HIGH in the HIGH phase of MCLK at the start of the read access. However, it always goes LOW at the end of the write access, even if the following cycle is an idle cycle (unless of course the following access was a read-lock-write sequence).

The Uncached Read / Unbuffered Write is shown in three sections. The start and end are always present, with the Repeat section repeated as many times as required when a multiple access is being performed. Buffered Writes are also of variable length and consist of the Start section plus as many consecutive Repeat sections as are necessary. A swap instruction consists of the Read phase, followed by one of the three possible Write phases. Activity on the memory interface is the succession of these access sequences.

Boundary-Scan Test Interface
11.1 Introduction
The boundary-scan interface conforms to IEEE Std. 1149.1- 1990, Standard Test Access Port and Boundary-Scan Architecture. Please refer to this for an explanation of the terms used in this section and for a description of the TAP controller states.
11.2 Overview
The boundary-scan interface provides a means of testing the core of the device when it is fitted to a circuit board, and a means of driving and sampling all the external pins of the device irrespective of the core state. This latter function permits testing of both the device's electrical connections to the circuit board, and (in conjunction with other devices on the circuit board having a similar interface) testing the integrity of the circuit board connections between devices. The interface intercepts all external connections within the device, and each such "cell" is then connected together to form a serial register (the boundary-scan register). The whole interface is controlled via five dedicated pins: TDI, TMS, TCK, nTRST and TDO. *Figure 11-1: Test Access Port (TAP) controller state transitions shows the state transitions that occur in the TAP controller.

ARM610 Data Sheet
Boundary-Scan Test Interface
11.3 Reset
The boundary-scan interface includes a state-machine controller (the TAP controller). In order to force the TAP controller into the correct state after power-up of the device, a reset pulse must be applied to the nTRST pin. If the boundary-scan interface is to be used, nTRST must be driven LOW, and then HIGH again. If the boundary-scan interface is not to be used, the nTRST pin may be tied permanently LOW. A clock on TCK is not needed to reset the device. The action of reset (either a pulse or a DC level) is as follows: * * System mode is selected (ie. the boundary-scan chain does not intercept any of the signals passing between the pads and the core). IDcode mode is selected. If TCK is pulsed, the contents of the ID register will be clocked out of TDO.
11.4 Pullup Resistors
The IEEE 1149.1 standard effectively requires that TDI, TMS, and nTRST should have internal pullup resistors. In order to allow ARM610 to consume zero static current, these resistors are not fitted to this device. Accordingly, the four inputs to the test interface (the above three signals plus TCK) must all be driven to good logic levels to achieve normal circuit operation.
11.5 Instruction Register
The instruction register is four bits in length. There is no parity bit. The fixed value loaded into the instruction register during the CAPTURE-IR controller state is 0001.
11.6 Public Instructions
The following public instructions are supported:

Boundary-Scan Test Interface
In the descriptions that follow, TDI and TMS are sampled on the rising edge of TCK and all output transitions on TDO occur as a result of the falling edge of TCK.
11.6.1 EXTEST (0000)
The BS (boundary-scan) register is placed in test mode by the EXTEST instruction. The EXTEST instruction connects the BS register between TDI and TDO. When the instruction register is loaded with the EXTEST instruction, all the boundaryscan cells are placed in their test mode of operation. In the CAPTURE-DR state, inputs from the system pins and outputs from the boundary-scan output cells to the system pins are captured by the boundary-scan cells. In the SHIFT-DR state, the previously captured test data is shifted out of the BS register via the TDO pin, while new test data is shifted in via the TDI pin to the BS register parallel input latch. In the UPDATE-DR state, the new test data is transferred into the BS register parallel output latch. This data is applied immediately to the system logic and system pins. The first EXTEST vector should be clocked into the boundaryscan register, using the SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction, prior to selecting INTEST to ensure that known data is applied to the system logic.
11.6.2 SAMPLE/PRELOAD (0011)
The BS (boundary-scan) register is placed in normal (system) mode by the SAMPLE/ PRELOAD instruction. The SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction connects the BS register between TDI and TDO. When the instruction register is loaded with the SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction, all the boundary-scan cells are placed in their normal system mode of operation. In the CAPTURE-DR state, a snapshot of the signals at the boundary-scan cells is taken on the rising edge of TCK. Normal system operation is unaffected. In the SHIFT-DR state, the sampled test data is shifted out of the BS register via the TDO pin, while new data is shifted in via the TDI pin to preload the BS register parallel input latch. In the UPDATE-DR state, the preloaded data is transferred into the BS register parallel output latch. This data is not applied to the system logic or system pins while the SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction is active. This instruction should be used to preload the boundary-scan register with known data prior to selecting the INTEST or EXTEST instructions (see the table below for appropriate guard values to be used for each boundary-scan cell).
11.6.3 CLAMP (0101)
The CLAMP instruction connects a 1-bit shift register (the BYPASS register) between TDI and TDO. When the CLAMP instruction is loaded into the instruction register, the state of all output signals is defined by the values previously loaded into the boundary-scan register. A guarding pattern (specified for this device at the end of this section) should be pre-loaded into the boundary-scan register using the SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction prior to selecting the CLAMP instruction.
11-4
ARM610 Data Sheet
Boundary-Scan Test Interface
In the CAPTURE-DR state, a logic 0 is captured by the bypass register. In the SHIFTDR state, test data is shifted into the bypass register via TDI and out via TDO after a delay of one TCK cycle. The first bit shifted out will be a zero. The bypass register is not affected in the UPDATE-DR state.
11.6.4 HIGHZ (0111)
The HIGHZ instruction connects a 1-bit shift register (the BYPASS register) between TDI and TDO. When the HIGHZ instruction is loaded into the instruction register, all outputs are placed in an inactive drive state. In the CAPTURE-DR state, a logic 0 is captured by the bypass register. In the SHIFTDR state, test data is shifted into the bypass register via TDI and out via TDO after a delay of one TCK cycle. The first bit shifted out will be a zero. The bypass register is not affected in the UPDATE-DR state.
11.6.5 CLAMPZ (1001)
The CLAMPZ instruction connects a 1-bit shift register (the BYPASS register) between TDI and TDO. When the CLAMPZ instruction is loaded into the instruction register, all outputs are placed in an inactive drive state, but the data supplied to the disabled output drivers is derived from the boundary-scan cells. The purpose of this instruction is to ensure, during production testing, that each output driver can be disabled when its data input is either a 0 or a 1. A guarding pattern (specified for this device at the end of this section) should be preloaded into the boundary-scan register using the SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction prior to selecting the CLAMPZ instruction. In the CAPTURE-DR state, a logic 0 is captured by the bypass register. In the SHIFTDR state, test data is shifted into the bypass register via TDI and out via TDO after a delay of one TCK cycle. The first bit shifted out will be a zero. The bypass register is not affected in the UPDATE-DR state.
11.6.6 INTEST (1100)
The BS (boundary-scan) register is placed in test mode by the INTEST instruction. The INTEST instruction connects the BS register between TDI and TDO. When the instruction register is loaded with the INTEST instruction, all the boundaryscan cells are placed in their test mode of operation. In the CAPTURE-DR state, the complement of the data supplied to the core logic from input boundary-scan cells is captured, while the true value of the data that is output from the core logic to output boundary- scan cells is captured. CAPTURE-DR captures the complemented value of the input cells for testability reasons.
ARM610 Data Sheet
11-5
Boundary-Scan Test Interface
In the SHIFT-DR state, the previously captured test data is shifted out of the BS register via the TDO pin, while new test data is shifted in via the TDI pin to the BS register parallel input latch. In the UPDATE-DR state, the new test data is transferred into the BS register parallel output latch. This data is applied immediately to the system logic and system pins. The first INTEST vector should be clocked into the boundaryscan register, using the SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction, prior to selecting INTEST to ensure that known data is applied to the system logic. Single-step operation is possible using the INTEST instruction.
11.6.7 IDCODE (1110)
The IDCODE instruction connects the device identification register (or ID register) between TDI and TDO. The ID register is a 32-bit register that allows the manufacturer, part number and version of a component to be determined through the TAP. When the instruction register is loaded with the IDCODE instruction, all the boundaryscan cells are placed in their normal (system) mode of operation. In the CAPTURE-DR state, the device identification code (specified at the end of this section) is captured by the ID register. In the SHIFT-DR state, the previously captured device identification code is shifted out of the ID register via the TDO pin, while data is shifted in via the TDI pin into the ID register. In the UPDATE-DR state, the ID register is unaffected.
11.6.8 BYPASS (1111)
The BYPASS instruction connects a 1-bit shift register (the BYPASS register) between TDI and TDO. When the BYPASS instruction is loaded into the instruction register, all the boundaryscan cells are placed in their normal (system) mode of operation. This instruction has no effect on the system pins. In the CAPTURE-DR state, a logic 0 is captured by the bypass register. In the SHIFTDR state, test data is shifted into the bypass register via TDI and out via TDO after a delay of one TCK cycle. The first bit shifted out will be a zero. The bypass register is not affected in the UPDATE-DR state.

Purpose: This is a single bit register which can be selected as the path between TDI and TDO to allow the device to be bypassed during boundary-scan testing. Length: 1 bit Operating Mode: When the BYPASS instruction is the current instruction in the instruction register, serial data is transferred from TDI to TDO in the SHIFT-DR state with a delay of one TCK cycle. There is no parallel output from the bypass register. A logic 0 is loaded from the parallel input of the bypass register in the CAPTURE-DR state.

Purpose: This register is used to read the 32-bit device identification code. No programmable supplementary identification code is provided. Length: 32 bits The format of the ID register is as follows:

The Device Identification Code for the Zarlink P610ARM-B/KG/FPNR is 1 EA1D 06F. Operating Mode: When the IDCODE instruction is current, the ID register is selected as the serial path between TDI and TDO. There is no parallel output from the ID register. The 32-bit device identification code is loaded into the ID register from its parallel inputs during the CAPTURE-DR state.
11.7.3 ARM610 Boundary-Scan (BS) register
Purpose: The BS register consists of a serially connected set of cells around the periphery of the device, at the interface between the core logic and the system input/ output pads. This register can be used to isolate the core logic from the pins and then apply tests to the core logic, or conversely to isolate the pins from the core logic and then drive or monitor the system pins. Operating modes: The BS register is selected as the register to be connected between TDI and TDO only during the SAMPLE/PRELOAD, EXTEST and INTEST instructions. Values in the BS register are used, but are not changed, during the CLAMP and CLAMPZ instructions. In the normal (system) mode of operation, straight-through connections between the core logic and pins are maintained and normal system operation is unaffected.

ARM610 Data Sheet
Boundary-Scan Test Interface
In TEST mode (ie. when either EXTEST or INTEST is the currently selected instruction), values can be applied to the core logic or output pins independently of the actual values on the input pins and core logic outputs respectively. On the ARM610, all of the boundary-scan cells include an update register and thus all of the pins can be controlled in the above manner. Additional boundary-scan cells are interposed in the scan chain in order to control the enabling of tristateable buses. The correspondence between boundary-scan cells and system pins, system direction controls and system output enables is as shown in *Table 11-3: Boundary-scan signals and pins on page 11-12. The cells are listed in the order in which they are connected in the boundary-scan register, starting with the cell closest to TDI. All boundary-scan register cells at input pins can apply tests to the on-chip core logic. The EXTEST guard values specified in *Table 11-3: Boundary-scan signals and pins on page 11-12 should be clocked into the boundary-scan register (using the SAMPLE/ PRELOAD instruction) before the EXTEST instruction is selected, to ensure that known data is applied to the core logic during the test. The INTEST guard values shown in the table below should be clocked into the boundary-scan register (using the SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction) before the INTEST instruction is selected to ensure that all outputs are disabled. These guard values should also be used when new EXTEST or INTEST vectors are clocked into the boundary-scan register. The values stored in the BS register after power-up are not defined. Similarly, the values previously clocked into the BS register are not guaranteed to be maintained across a Boundary-Scan reset (from forcing nTRST LOW or entering the Test Logic Reset state).
11.7.4 Output Enable Boundary-Scan cells
The boundary-scan register cells Nendout, Nabe, Ntbe, and Nmse control the output drivers of tristate outputs as shown in the table below. In the case of OUTEN0 enable cells (Nendout, Ntbe), loading a 1 into the cell will place the associated drivers into the tristate state, while in the case of type INEN1 enable cells (Nabe, Nmse), loading a 0 into the cell will tristate the associated drivers. To put all ARM610 tristate outputs into their high impedance state, a logic 1 should be clocked into the output enable boundary-scan cells Nendout and Ntbe, and a logic 0 should be clocked into Nabe and Nmse. Alternatively, the HIGHZ instruction can be used. If the on-chip core logic causes the drivers controlled by Nendout, for example, to be tristate, (ie. by driving the signal Nendout HIGH), then a 1 will be observed on this cell if the SAMPLE/PRELOAD or INTEST instructions are active.
11.7.5 Single-step operation
ARM610 is a static design and there is no minimum clock speed. It can therefore be single-stepped while the INTEST instruction is selected. This can be achieved by serialising a parallel stimulus and clocking the resulting serial vectors into the boundary-scan register. When the boundary-scan register is updated, new test stimuli are applied to the core logic inputs; the effect of these stimuli can then be observed on the core logic outputs by capturing them in the boundary-scan register.

TDO enable time applies when the TAP controller enters the Shift-DR or ShiftIR states. TDO disable time applies when the TAP controller leaves the Shift-DR or ShiftIR states. For correct data latching, the I/O signals (from the core and the pads) must be setup and held with respect to the rising edge of TCK in the CAPTURE-DR state of the SAMPLE/PRELOAD, INTEST and EXTEST instructions. Assumes that the data outputs are loaded with the AC test loads (see AC parameter specification).

13.1 Test Conditions
The AC timing diagrams presented in this section assume that the outputs of ARM610 have been loaded with the capacitive loads shown in the Test Load column of the table below; these loads have been chosen as typical of the system in which ARM610 might be employed. The output pads of ARM610 are CMOS drivers which exhibit a propagation delay that increases linearly with the increase in load capacitance. An Output derating figure is given for each output pad, showing the approximate rate of increase of output time with increasing load capacitance.

Backward Compatibility
A.1 Backward Compatibility
Two of the Control Register bits, prog32 and data32, allow one of three processor configurations to be selected as follows: 1 26-bit program and data space--(prog32 LOW, data32 LOW). This configuration forces ARM610 to operate like the earlier ARM processors with 26-bit address space. The programmer's model for these processors applies, but the new instructions to access the CPSR and SPSR registers operate as detailed elsewhere in this document. In this configuration it is impossible to select a 32-bit operating mode, and all exceptions (including address exceptions) enter the exception handler in the appropriate 26-bit mode. 26-bit program space and 32-bit data space--(prog32 LOW, data32 HIGH). This is the same as the 26-bit program and data space configuration, but with address exceptions disabled to allow data transfer operations to access the full 32-bit address space. 32-bit program and data space--(prog32 HIGH, data32 HIGH). This configuration extends the address space to 32 bits, introduces major changes in the programmer's model as described below and provides support for running existing 26-bit programs in the 32-bit environment.

The fourth processor configuration which is possible (26-bit data space and 32-bit program space) should not be selected. When configured for 26-bit program space, ARM8 is limited to operating in one of four modes known as the 26-bit modes. These modes correspond to the modes of the earlier ARM processors and are known as: User26 FIQ26 IRQ26 and Supervisor26. These are the normal operating modes in this configuration and the 26-bit modes are only provided for backwards compatibility to allow execution of programs originally written for earlier ARM processors.
