D.
Version Registers (PVR, PRR)
The SH-4A has the read-only registers which show the version of a processor core, and the version
of a product. By using the value of these registers, it becomes possible to be able to distinguish the
version and product of a processor from software, and to realize the scalability of the high system.
Since the values of the version registers differ for every product, please refer to the hardware
manual or contact Renesas Technology Corp..
Note: The bit 7 to bit 0 of PVR register and the bit 3 to bit 0 of PRR register should be masked
by the software.
