Programming Model

2.2.3.3 Vector Base Register (VBR)
The VBR contains the base address of the exception vector table in memory. To access the
vector table, the displacement of an exception vector is added to the value in VBR. The
lower 20 bits of the VBR are not implemented by ColdFire processors; they are assumed to
be zero, forcing the table to be aligned on a 1 MByte boundary.
2.2.3.4 Cache Control Register (CACR)
The CACR controls operation of the instruction/data cache memories. It includes bits for
enabling, freezing, and invalidating cache contents. It also includes bits for defining the
default cache mode and write-protect fields. The CACR is described in Section 4.4.2.1,
"Cache Control Register (CACR)."
2.2.3.5 Access Control Registers (ACR0, ACR1)
The access control registers, ACR0 and ACR1, define attributes for two user-defined
memory regions. These attributes include the definition of cache mode, write protect, and
buffer write enables. The ACRs are described in Section 4.4.2.2, "Access Control Registers
(ACR0, ACR1)."
2.2.3.6 Memory Base Address Registers (RAMBAR, FLASHBAR)
Memory base address registers are used to specify the base address of the internal SRAM
and Flash modules and indicate the types of references mapped to each. Each base address
register includes a base address, write-protect bit, address space mask bits, and an enable
bit. For the MCF5282, FLASHBAR determines the base address of the on-chip Flash, and
RAMBAR determines the base address of the on-chip RAM. For more information, refer
to Section 5.3.1, "SRAM Base Address Register (RAMBAR)" and Section 6.3.2, "Flash
Base Address Register (FLASHBAR)."
