L1 Caches
PowerPC e500 Core Family Reference Manual, Rev. 1
Freescale Semiconductor 11-17
If a cache instruction causes multiple no-op or exception conditions, the results are determined by
the order of precedence described in
Table 11-7 . The priority of the conditions decreases from left
to right and the dashes indicate that the operation executes normally. Note that a dash in this table
indicates that a failure does not occur under the conditions described.
Note that CE corresponds to the cache enable bit in L1CSR1 (for the instruction cache) or L1CSR0
(for the data cache). DLK and ILK indicate that the condition causes a data storage interrupt and
sets the ESR[DLK] or ESR[ILK]. CUL indicates the unable-to-lock condition that results in a
no-op and sets L1CSR1[ICUL] or L1CSR0[CUL].
Acronyms are used to signify the following interrupts:
• DTLB (data TLB interrupt)
• ALI (alignment interrupt)
• DSI (data storage interrupt)
