Freescale Semiconductor PowerQUICC MPC885 Reference Manual page 84

Audience
This manual is intended for software and hardware developers and application programmers who want to
develop products for the MPC885. It is assumed that the reader has a basic understanding of computer
networking, OSI layers, and RISC architecture. In addition, it is assumed that the reader has a basic
understanding of the communications protocols described here. Where it is considered useful, additional
sources are provided that provide in-depth discussions of such topics.
Organization
Following is a summary and a brief description of the chapters of this manual:
• Part I, "Overview,"
and listing basic features.
— Chapter 1, "MPC885 Overview,"
features. It roughly follows the structure of this book, summarizing the relevant features and
providing references for the reader who needs additional information.
— Chapter 2, "Memory Map,"
memory. It includes cross references that indicate where each register is described in detail.
• Part II, "MPC8xx Microprocessor Module,"
details concerning the processor core as an implementation of the PowerPC architecture.
— Chapter 3, "The MPC8xx Core,"
— Chapter 4, "MPC8xx Core Register Set,"
MPC885 core. These include both architecturally-defined and MPC885-specific registers.
— Chapter 5, "MPC885 Instruction Set,"
MPC885. These instructions are organized by the level of architecture in which they are
implemented—UISA, VEA, and OEA.
— Chapter 6, "Exceptions,"
MPC885.
— Chapter 7, "Instruction and Data Caches,"
and data caches, cache control, various cache operations, and the interaction between the
caches, the load/store unit (LSU), the instruction sequencer, and the system interface unit
(SIU).
— Chapter 8, "Memory Management Unit,"
implemented on the MPC885. Although the MPC885 MMU is based on the PowerPC MMU
model, it differs greatly in many respects, which are described in this chapter.
— Chapter 9, "Instruction Execution Timing,"
provides ways to take greatest advantage of its RISC architecture characteristics, such as
pipelining and parallel execution. It includes a table of instruction latencies and lists
dependencies and potential bottlenecks.
