Chapter 2

Programming the MIPS32® 74K™ Core Family, Revision 02.14

Initialization and identity

What happens when the CPU is first powered up? These functions are perhaps more often associated with a ROM
monitor than an OS.

2.1 Probing your CPU - Config CP0 registers

The four registers

Config

and

Config1-3

are 32-bit CP0 registers which contain information about the CPU’s capa-

bilities.

Config1-3

are strictly read-only. The few writable fields in

Config

— notably

Config[K0]

— are there for

historic compatibility, and are typically written once soon after bootstrap and never changed again.

The 74K core also defines

Config7

for some implementation-specific settings (which most programmers will never

use).

Broadly speaking the registers have these roles:

While initializing your CPU, you might also want to look at the

EBase

exception entry points: see

Figure 5.2

and the text round it.

Table 2.1 Roles of Config registers

Config

A mix of historical and CPU-dependent information, described in

Figure 2.1

below. Some

fields are writable.

Config1

Read-only, strictly to the MIPS32 architecture.

Config1

shows the primary cache configuration

and basic CPU capabilities, while

Config2

shows information about L2 and L3 caches, if fitted

(the L2 and the L3 cache is unavailable in 74K family cores). Shown in

Figure 2.2

and

Figure

2.3

below.

Config2

Config3

Read-only, strictly to Release 2 of the

[MIPS32]

architecture.

More CPU capability information.

Config6

Provides information about the presence of optional extensions to the base MIPS32 architec-
ture in addition to those specified in

Config2

and

Config3

Config7

74K-core-specific, with both read-only and writable fields. It’s a strong convention that the
writable fields should default to “expected” behavior, so beginners may simply leave these
fields alone. The fields are described later, in

Section B.2.1 “The Config7 register”
