3.4.2 Program and data space
The CPU allows the following assignment of data and instructions to the CPU
address space:
• 4 GB as data space
The entire CPU address space can be used for operand addresses.
• 64 MB as program space
Only the lower 64 MB of the CPU address space can be used for instruction
addresses. When an instruction address for a branch instruction is
calculated and moved to the program counter (PC), then bits 31 to 26 are
set to zero.
Figure 3-4 shows the assignment of the CPU address space to data and
program space.
