3.3.2. Overlapping Regions

The memory addresses of regions can overlap. Overlapping regions have several uses

including placing markers or small holes inside of a larger region. For example, the

stack and heap may be located in the same region, growing from opposite ends of the

address range. To detect stack/heap overflows, you can define a small region between

the stack and heap with no access permissions and assign it a higher priority than the

larger region. Any access attempts to the hole region trigger an exception informing

system software about the stack/heap overflow.

If regions overlap so that a particular access matches more than one region, the

region with the highest priority (lowest index) determines the access permissions and

default cacheability.

3.3.3. Enabling the MPU

The MPU is disabled on system reset. System software enables and disables the MPU

by writing to a control register. Before enabling the MPU, you must create at least one

instruction and one data region, otherwise unexpected results can occur. Refer to the

Working with the MPU section for more information.

3.4. Registers

The Nios II register set includes general-purpose registers and control registers. In

addition, the Nios II/f core can optionally have shadow register sets. This section

discusses each register type.

3.4.1. General-Purpose Registers

The Nios II architecture provides thirty-two 32-bit general-purpose registers,

through

r31

. Some registers have names recognized by the assembler. For example,

the

zero

) always returns the value zero, and writing to

zero

has no

effect. The

r31

) holds the return address used by procedure calls and is

implicitly accessed by the

call

callr

and

ret

instructions. C and C++ compilers

use a common procedure-call convention, assigning specific meaning to registers

through

r23

and

r26

through

r28

Table 11.
