Fault Address Register
The Fault Address Register (FLTAR) contains the virtual address that was being processed when the
last fault that caused a write to the FLTCR occurred. The output of the /etc/errdump command
includes the FLT AR.
Virtual Address Register
The Virtual Address Register (VAR) contains the virtual address to be translated by the MMU. The
VAR is overwritten each time a translation is performed. Writing to the VAR causes the corresponding
page descriptor and segment descriptor to be flushed. If the segment descriptor is contiguous, then all
page descriptors are flushed.
Configuration Register
The Configuration Register (CR) is used to enable or disable certain options of the MMU. Upon
reset, all bits are cleared. The format of the CR is as follows.

Bits 31-07 are reserved for future use. If read, zeros are returned.
Bit 06 is the Data Cache Enable (DCE) bit. This bit must be set to enable data
cache. For parts without data cache, this bit must contain a zero.
Bit 05 is the Multiple Context Enable (MCE) bit. When set (1 ], the multiple context
feature is enabled. When cleared[O], the MMU operates is single context mode.
