Appendix E. Processor Core Register Summary
E-15
PowerPC Register Set
The floating-point exception mode bits (FE0–FE1) are interpreted as shown in Table E-9.
E.1.3.2 Processor Version Register (PVR)
The processor version register (PVR) is a 32-bit, read-only register that contains a value
identifying the specific version (model) and revision level of the PowerPC processor as
shown in Figure E-11.
Figure E-11. Processor Version Register (PVR)
Software can identify the MPC8240’s processor core by reading the processor version
register (PVR). The MPC8240’s processor version number is 0x0081; the processor
revision level starts at 0x0100 and is incremented for each revision of the chip. This
information is useful for data cache flushing routines for identifying the size of the cache
and identifying this processor as one that supports cache locking.
E.1.3.3 BAT Registers
Figure E-12 and Figure E-13 show the format of the upper and lower BAT registers for
32-bit PowerPC processors.
