All ColdFire Family BDM commands include a 16-bit operation word followed by an
optional set of one or more extension words, as shown in Figure 29-15.

Operation
Specifies the command. These values are listed in Table 29-17.

0
Reserved, should be cleared.
8
R/W
Direction of operand transfer.
0 Data is written to the CPU or to memory from the development system.
1 The transfer is from the CPU to the development system.
7–6
Op Size
Operand data size for sized operations. Addresses are expressed as 32-bit absolute values. Note that a
command performing a byte-sized memory read leaves the upper 8 bits of the response data undefined.
Referenced data is returned in the lower 8 bits of the response.

A/D
Address/data. Determines whether the register field specifies a data or address register.
0 Indicates a data register.
1 Indicates an address register.
2–0
Register
Contains the register number in commands that operate on processor registers.
29.5.3.1.1 Extension Words as Required
Some commands require extension words for addresses and/or immediate data. Addresses
require two extension words because only absolute long addressing is permitted. Longword
accesses are forcibly longword-aligned and word accesses are forcibly word-aligned.
Immediate data can be 1 or 2 words long. Byte and word data each requires a single
extension word and longword data requires two extension words.
Operands and addresses are transferred most-significant word first. In the following
descriptions of the BDM command set, the optional set of extension words is defined as
address, data, or operand data.
