Related Documentation
Freescale documentation is available from the sources listed on the back cover of this manual; the
document order numbers are included in parentheses for ease in ordering:
•
EREF: A Programmer's Reference Manual for Freescale Book E Processors (EREF)—This book
provides a higher-level view of the programming model as it is defined by Book E, the Freescale
Book E implementation standards, and the e200z3 microprocessor.
•
Reference manuals—These books provide details about individual implementations and are
intended for use with the EREF.
•
Addenda/errata to reference manuals—Because some processors have follow-on parts, an
addendum is provided that describes the additional features and functionality changes. These
addenda are intended for use with the corresponding reference manuals.
•
Hardware specifications—Hardware specifications provide specific data regarding bus timing,
signal behavior, and AC, DC, and thermal characteristics, as well as other design considerations.
•
Product briefs—Each device has a product brief that provides an overview of its features.
•
Application notes—These short documents address specific design issues useful to programmers
and engineers working with Freescale processors.
Additional literature is published as new processors become available. For a current list of documentation,
refer to the website on the inside cover of this book.
Conventions
This document uses the following notational conventions:
cleared/set
When a bit takes the value zero, it is said to be cleared; when it takes a value of
one, it is said to be set.
mnemonics
Instruction mnemonics are shown in lowercase bold.
italics
Italics indicate variable command parameters, for example, bcctrx.
Book titles in text are set in italics.
Internal signals are set in italics, for example, qual BG.
0x0
Prefix to denote hexadecimal number
0b0
Prefix to denote binary number
rA, rB
Instruction syntax used to identify a source GPR
