Introduction
------------
Purpose of this document is to define specifications of the OpenRISC 1200
implementation. This specification defines all implementation specific
variables that are not part of the general architecture specification. This
includes type and size of data and instruction caches, type and size of data
and instruction MMUs, details of all execution pipelines, implementation
of exception unit, interrupt controller and other supplemental units.
This document does not cover general architecture topics like instruction set,
memory addressing modes and other architectural definitions. See
<<or1000_manual>> for more information about architecture.
OpenRISC Family
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(((OpenRISC,Family)))
OpenRISC 1000 is architecture for a family of free, open source RISC processor
cores. As architecture, OpenRISC 1000 allows for a spectrum of chip and
system implementations at a variety of price/performance points for a range of
applications. It is a 32/64-bit load and store RISC architecture designed with
emphasis on performance, simplicity, low power requirements, scalability and
versatility. OpenRISC 1000 architecture targets medium and high performance
networking, embedded, automotive and portable computer environments.
image::img/or_family.gif[scaledwidth="50%",align="center"]
All OpenRISC implementations, whose first digit in identification number
is 1 , belong to OpenRISC 1000 family. Second digit defines which features
of OpenRISC 1000 architecture are implemented and in which way they are
implemented. Last two digits define how an implementation is configured
before it is used in a real application.
However, at present the OR1200 is the only major RTL implementation of the
OR1K architecture spec, and the OR1200 name has stuck, despite the high level
of reconfigurability possible that would, strictly speaking, mean the core
is either a OR1000, OR1300, etc. So, despite the various features that may
or may not be implemented, the core is still only referred to as the OR1200.
OpenRISC 1200
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(((OpenRISC,1200)))
The OR1200 is a 32-bit scalar RISC with Harvard microarchitecture, 5 stage
integer pipeline, virtual memory support (MMU) and basic DSP capabilities.
Default caches are 1-way direct-mapped 8KB data cache and 1-way direct-mapped
8KB instruction cache, each with 16-byte line size. Both caches are
physically tagged. By default MMUs are implemented and they are constructed of
64-entry hash based 1-way direct-mpped data TLB and 64-entry hash based 1-way
direct-mapped instruction TLB.
Supplemental facilities include debug unit for real-time debugging, high
resolution tick timer, programmable interrupt controller and power management
support. When implemented in a typical 0.18u 6LM process it should provide
over 300 dhrystone 2.1 MIPS at 300MHz and 300 DSP MAC 32x32 operations, at
least 20% more than any other competitor in this class. OR1200 in default
configuration has about 1M transistors.
OR1200 is intended for embedded, portable and networking applications. It can
successfully compete with latest scalar 32-bit RISC processors in his class
and can efficiently run any modern operating system. Competitors include
ARM10, ARC and Tensilica RISC processors.
Features
^^^^^^^^
The following lists the main features of OR1200 IP core:
- All major characteristics of the core can be set by the user
- High performance of 300 Dhrystone 2.1 MIPS at 300 MHz using 0.18u process
- High performance cache and MMU subsystems
- WISHBONE SoC Interconnection Rev. B3 compliant interface
Architecture

consists of several building blocks:
- CPU/FPU/DSP central block
- Direct-mapped data cache
- Direct-mapped instruction cache
- Data MMU based on hash based DTLB
- Instruction MMU based on hash based ITLB
- Power management unit and power management interface
- Tick timer
- Debug unit and development interface
- Interrupt controller and interrupt interface
- Instruction and Data WISHBONE host interfaces
[[core_arch_fig]]
.Core's Architecture
image::img/core_arch.gif[scaledwidth="50%",align="center"]
CPU/FPU/DSP
~~~~~~~~~~~
((CPU))/((FPU))/((DSP)) is a central part of the OR1200 RISC processor.
<<cpu_fpu_dsp_fig>> shows basic block diagram of the CPU/DSP. Not pictured
are the FPU components. OR1200 CPU/FPU/DSP ony implements sections of
the ORBIS32 and ORFPX32 instruction set. No ((ORBIS64)), ((ORFBX64)) or
((ORVDX64)) instructions are implemented in OR1200.
[[cpu_fpu_dsp_fig]]
.CPU/FPU/DSP Block Diagram
image::img/cpu_fpu_dsp.gif[scaledwidth="50%",align="center"]
Instruction unit
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The instruction unit implements the basic instruction pipeline, fetches
instructions from the memory subsystem, dispatches them to available execution
units, and maintains a state history to ensure a precise exception model
and that operations finish in order. It also executes conditional branch
and unconditional jump instructions.
The sequencer can dispatch a sequential instruction on each clock if the
appropriate execution unit is available. The execution unit must discern
whether source data is available and to ensure that no other instruction is
targeting the same destination register.
Instruction unit handles only ((ORBIS32)) and, optionally, a subset of the
((ORFPX32)) instruction class. Some ((ORFPX32)) and all ((ORFPX3264)) and
((ORVDX64)) instruction classes are not supported by the OR1200 at present.
General-Purpose Registers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
OpenRISC 1200 implements 32 general-purpose 32-bit ((registers)). OpenRISC 1000
architecture also support shadow copies of register file to implement fast
switching between working contexts, however this feature is not implemented
in current OR1200 implementation.
OR1200 implements general-purpose register file as two synchronous dual-port
memories with capacity of 32 words by 32 bits per word.
Load/Store Unit
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The ((load/store unit (LSU))) transfers all data between the GPRs and the CPU's
internal bus. It is implemented as an independent execution unit so that stalls
in memory subsystem only affect master pipeline if there is a data dependency.
The following are LSU's main features:
- all load/store instruction implemented in hardware (atomic instructions
included)
- address entry buffer
- pipelined operation
- aligned accesses for fast memory access
When load and store instructions are issued, the LSU determines if all
operands are available. These operands include the following:
- address register operand
- source data register operand (for store instructions)
- destination data register operand (for load instructions)
Integer Execution Pipeline
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(((Pipeline, Integer Execution)))
The core implements the following types of 32-bit integer instructions:
- Arithmetic instructions
- Compare instructions
- Logical instructions
- Rotate and shift instructions
Most integer instructions can execute in one cycle. For details about timing
see <<exec_time_int_table>>.
MAC Unit
^^^^^^^^
The ((MAC)) unit executes DSP MAC operations. MAC operations are 32x32 with
48-bit accumulator. MAC unit is fully pipelined and can accept new MAC
operation in each new clock cycle.
Floating Point Unit
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(((Floating Point Unit)))
The ((FPU)) implementation is based on two other FPUs available from
OpenCores.org. For the comparison and conversion functions, parts were taken
from the FPU project by Rudolf Usselmann, and for the arithmetic operations,
the fpu100 project by Jidan Al-Eryani was converted to Verilog HDL.
All ((ORFPX32)) instructions except for ((lf.madd.s)) and ((lf.rem.s)) are
supported when the FPU is enabled in the OR1200 configuration.
System Unit
^^^^^^^^^^^
The ((system unit)) connects all other signals of the CPU/FPU/DSP that are not
connected through instruction and data interfaces. It also implements all
system special-purpose registers (e.g. supervisor register).
Exceptions
^^^^^^^^^^
Core exceptions can be generated when an exception condition occurs.
((Exception sources)) in OR1200 include the following:
- External interrupt request
- Certain memory access condition
- Internal errors, such as an attempt to execute unimplemented opcode
- System call
- Internal exception, such as breakpoint exceptions
- Arithmetic overflow
((Exception handling)) is transparent to user software and uses the same
mechanism to handle all types of exceptions. When an exception is taken,
control is transferred to an exception handler at an offset defined by for
the type of exception encountered. Exceptions are handled in supervisor mode.
Exceptions caused by instructions in a delay slot will set the supervision
register's DSX bit.
Data Cache
~~~~~~~~~~
The default configuration of OR1200 data ((cache)) is 8-Kbyte, 1-way
direct-mapped data cache, which allows rapid core access to data. However
data cache can be configured according to <<data_confs_or1200_table>>.
[[data_confs_or1200_table]]
.Possible Data Cache Configurations of OR1200
[width="60%",options="header"]
|======================================================
| | Direct mapped
| 16B/line, 256 lines, 1 way | 4KB
| 16B/line, 512 lines, 1 way | *8KB (default)*
| 16B/line, 1024 lines, 1 way | 16KB
| 32B/line, 1024 lines, 1 way | 32KB
|======================================================
It is possible to operate the data cache with write-through or write-back
strategies, however write-back is currently experimental.
Features:
- data cache is separate from instruction cache (Harvard architecture)
- data cache implements a least-recently used (LRU) replacement algorithm
within each set
- the cache directory is physically addressed. The physical address tag is
stored in the cache directory
- write-through or write-back operation
- entire cache can be disabled, lines invalidated, flushed or forced to be
written back, by writing to cache special purpose registers
On a miss, and appropriate conditions, the cache line is filled or emptied
(written back) with 16-byte bursts. The burst fill is performed as a
critical-word-first operation; the critical word is simultaneously written
to the cache and forwarded to the requesting unit, thus minimizing stalls
due to cache fill latency. Data cache provides storage for cache tags and
performs cache line replacement function.
Data cache is tightly coupled to external interface to allow efficient
access to the system memory controller.
The data cache supplies data to the GPRs by means of a 32-bit interface
to the load/store unit. The LSU provides all logic required to calculate
effective addresses, handles data alignment to and from the data cache,
and provides sequencing for load and store operations. Write operations to
the data cache can be performed on a byte, half-word or word basis.
image::img/data_cache_diag.gif[scaledwidth="50%",align="center"]
Each line contains four contiguous words from memory that are loaded from
a cache line aligned boundary. As a result, cache lines are aligned with
page boundaries.
Instruction Cache
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The default configuration of OR1200 instruction ((cache)) is 8-Kbyte, 1-way
direct mapped instruction cache, which allows rapid core access to
instructions. However instruction cache can be configured according to
<<inst_confs_or1200_table>>.

| 16B/line, 1024 lines, 1 way | 16KB
| 32B/line, 1024 lines, 1 way | 32KB
|==============================================
Features:
- instruction cache is separate from data cache (Harvard architecture)
(((Architecture,Harvard)))
- instruction cache implements a least-recently used (LRU) replacement
algorithm within each set
((LRU))
- the ((cache directory)) is physically addressed. The physical address tag is
stored in the cache directory
- it can be disabled or invalidated by writing to cache special purpose
registers
On a miss, the cache is filled in with 16-byte bursts. The burst fill
is performed as a critical-word-first operation; the critical word is
simultaneously written to the cache and forwarded to the requesting unit,
thus minimizing stalls due to cache fill latency. Instruction cache provides
storage for cache tags and performs cache line replacement function.
Instruction cache is tightly coupled to external interface to allow efficient
access to the system memory controller.
The instruction cache supplies instructions to the instruction sequencer by
means of a 32-bit interface to the instruction fetch subunit. The instruction
fetch subunit provides all logic required to calculate effective addresses.
image::img/inst_cache_diag.gif[scaledwidth="50%",align="center"]
Each line contains four contiguous words from memory that are loaded from
a line-size aligned boundary. As a result, cache lines are aligned with
page boundaries.
Data MMU
~~~~~~~~
(((MMU, Data)))
The OR1200 implements a ((virtual memory management)) scheme that
provides memory access protection and effective-to-physical address
translation. ((Protection)) granularity is as defined by OpenRISC 1000
architecture - 8-Kbyte and 16-Mbyte pages.

|======================================
| | Direct mapped
| 16 entries per way | 16 DTLB entries
| 32 entries per way | 32 DTLB entries
| 64 entries per way | *64 DTLB entries (default)*
| 128 entries per way | 128 DTLB entries
|======================================
Features:
* data MMU is separate from instruction MMU
* page size 8-Kbyte
* comprehensive page protection scheme
* direct mapped hash based translation lookaside buffer (DTLB) with the
default of 1 way and the following features:
** miss and fault exceptions
** software tablewalk
** high performance because of hashed based design
** variable number DTLB entries with default of 64 per each way
image::img/tlb_diag.gif[scaledwidth="50%",align="center"]
The MMU hardware supports two-level software tablewalk.
Instruction MMU
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(((MMU, Instruction)))
The OR1200 implements a virtual memory management scheme that provides memory
access protection and effective-to-physical address translation. Protection
granularity is as defined by OpenRISC 1000 architecture - 8-Kbyte and
16-Mbyte pages.

| 32 entries per way | 32 DTLB entries
| 64 entries per way | *64 DTLB entries (default)*
| 128 entries per way | 128 DTLB entries
|======================================
Features:
* instruction MMU is separate from data MMU
* pages size 8-Kbyte
* comprehensive page protection scheme
* 1 way direct-mapped hash based translation lookaside buffer (ITLB) with the
following features:
** miss and fault exceptions
** software tablewalk
** high performance because of hashed based design
** Variable number of ITLB entries with default of 64 entries per way
image::img/inst_mmu_diag.gif[scaledwidth="50%",align="center"]
The MMU hardware supports two-level software tablewalk.
Programmable Interrupt Controller
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ((interrupt)) controller receives interrupts from external sources and
forwards them as low or high priority interrupt exception to the CPU core.
[[interrupt_controller_fig]]
.Block Diagram of the Interrupt Controller
image::img/interrupt_controller.gif[scaledwidth="50%",align="center"]
Programmable interrupt controller has three special-purpose registers and 32
interrupt inputs. Interrupt input 0 and 1 are always enabled and connected
to high and low priority interrupt input, respectively.
30 other interrupt inputs can be masked and assigned low or high priority
through programming special-purpose registers.
Tick Timer
~~~~~~~~~~
OR1200 implements tick ((timer)) facility. Basically this is a timer that is
clocked by RISC clock and is used by the operating system to precisely
measure time and schedule system tasks.
OR1200 precisely follow architectural definition of the tick timer facility:
* Maximum timer count of 2^32 clock cycles
* Maximum time period of 2^28 clock cycles between interrupts
* Maskable tick timer interrupt
* Single run, restartable or continues timer
Tick timer operates from independent clock source so that doze power management
mode can be implemented.
Power Management Support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To optimize ((power consumption)), the OR1200 provides ((low-power)) modes that
can be used to dynamically activate and deactivate certain internal modules.
OR1200 has three major features to minimize power consumption:
* Slow and Idle Modes (SW controlled clock freq reduction)
* Doze and Sleep Modes (interrupt wake-up)
[[power_consumption_table]]
.Power Consumption
[width="60%",options="header"]
|===================================================================
| Power Minimization Feature | Approx Power Consumption Reduction
| Slow and Idle mode | 2x - 10x
| Doze mode | 100x
| Sleep mode | 200x
| Dynamic clock gating | N/A
|===================================================================
Slow down mode takes advantage of the low-power dividers in external clock
generation circuitry to enable full functionality, but at a lower frequency
so that a power consumption is reduced. PMR[SDF] 4 bits are broadcasted on
pm_clksd and external clock generation for the RISC should adapt RISC clock
frequency according to the value on pm_clksd.
When software initiates the doze mode, software processing on the core
suspends. The clocks to the RISC internal modules are disabled except to
the tick timer. However any other on-chip blocks can continue to function
as normal. The OR1200 will leave doze mode and enter normal mode when a
pending interrupt occurs.
In sleep mode, all OR1200 internal units are disabled and clocks
gated. Optionally implementation may choose to lower the operating voltage
of the OR1200 core. The OR1200 should leave sleep mode and enter normal
mode when a pending interrupt occurs.
Dynamic ((Clock gating)) (unit clock gating on clock by clock basis) is not
supported by OR1200.
Debug unit
~~~~~~~~~~
((Debug unit)) assists software developers to debug their systems. It provides
support only for basic debugging and does not have support for more advanced
debug features of OpenRISC 1000 architecture such as watchpoints, breakpoints
and program-flow control registers.
[[debug_unit_fig]]
.Block Diagram of Debug Unit
image::img/debug_unit_diag.gif[scaledwidth="50%",align="center"]
Watchpoints and breakpoints are events triggered by program- or data-flow
matching the conditions programmed in the debug registers. Breakpoints
unlike watchpoints also suspend execution of the current program-flow and
start breakpoint exception.
Clocks & Reset
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The OR1200 core has a ((clock)) input each for the instruction and data Wishbone
interface logic, and for the CPU core. Clock input clk_cpu clocks everything
inside the Wishbone interfaces. Data Wishbone interface is clocked by
dwb_clk_i, instruction Wishbone interface is clocked by iwb_clk_i.
OR1200 has asynchronous ((reset)) signal. Reset signal rst, when asserted high,
immediately resets all flip-flops inside OR1200. When deasserted, OR1200
will start reset exception.
WISHBONE Interfaces
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two ((WISHBONE)) interfaces connect OR1200 core to external peripherals and
external memory subsystem. They are WISHBONE SoC Interconnection specification
Rev. B3 compliant. The implementation implements a 32-bit bus width and does
not support other bus widths.
Wishbone registered-feedback incrementing burst accesses occur when not
disabled, and cache lines are filled. The burst size (beats) is determined
by the cache line size.
image::img/wb_compatible.png[scaledwidth="30%",align="center"]
Operation
---------
This section describes the operation of the OR1200 core. For operations
that pertain to the architectural definitions, see <<or1000_manual>>.
Reset
~~~~~
OR1200 has one asynchronous ((reset)) signal that can be used by a soft and hard
reset on a higher system hierarchy levels.
[[powerup_sequence_fig]]
.Power-Up and Reset Sequence
image::img/powerup_seq.gif[scaledwidth="70%",align="center"]
<<powerup_sequence_fig>> shows how asynchronous reset is applied after
powering up the OR1200 core. Reset is connected to asynchronous reset of
almost all flip-flops inside RISC core. Special care must be taken to ensure
hold and setup times of all flip-flops compared to main RISC clock.
If system implements gated clocks, then clock gating can be used to ensure
proper reset timing.
[[powerup_sequence_gatedclk_fig]]
.Power-Up and Reset Sequence w/ Gated Clock
image::img/powerup_seq_gatedclk.gif[scaledwidth="70%",align="center"]
The address the PC assumes at hard reset (assertion of external reset signal)
is definable at synthesis time, via the OR1200_BOOT_ADR define. This is not
to be confused with the ability to set the exception prefix address with
the EPH bit.
CPU/FPU/DSP
~~~~~~~~~~~
((CPU))/((FPU))/((DSP)) is implementation of the 32-bit part of the OpenRISC
1000 architecture and only a subset of all features is implemented.
Instructions
^^^^^^^^^^^^
(((OpenRISC 1200, Instruction List)))
The following table lists the instructions implemented in the OR1200. Those
optionally implemented are indicated as such.
// The table below is split into several columns for readability by the
// preprocessing script. It is better to have this automated because
// given the pseudo-lexicographical ordering, adding a new instruction
// would require manual changes in all subsequent columns, which is
// tedious and error-prone.
//
// When changing the column headers, remember to change the script accordingly.

|=================================
For a complete description of each instruction's format refer to
<<or1000_manual>>.
Instruction Unit
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
((Instruction unit)) generates instruction fetch effective address and fetches
instructions from instruction cache. Each clock cycle one instruction can
be fetched. Instruction fetch EA is further translated into physical address
by IMMU.
General-Purpose Registers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
((General-purpose register)) file can supply two read operands each clock cycle
and store one result in a destination register.
GPRs can be also read and written through development interface.
Load/Store Unit
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
((LSU)) can execute one load instruction every two clock cycles assuming load
instruction have a hit in the data cache. Execution of store instructions
takes one clock cycle assuming they have a hit in the data cache.
LSU performs calculation of the load/store effective address. EA is further
translated into physical address by DMMU.
Load/store effective address and load and store data can be also accessed
through development interface.
Integer Execution Pipeline
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(((Pipeline, Integer Execution)))
The core implements the following types of 32-bit integer instructions:
* Arithmetic instructions
* Compare instructions
* Logical instructions
* Rotate and shift instructions
[[exec_time_int_table]]
.Execution Time of Integer Instructions
[width="70%",options="header"]
|================================================
| Instruction Group | Clock Cycles to Execute
| Arithmetic except Multiply/Divide | 1
| Multiply | 3
| Divide | 32
| Compare | 1
| Logical | 1
| Rotate and Shift | 1
| Others | 1
|================================================
<<exec_time_int_table>> lists execution times for instructions executed by
integer execution pipeline. Most instructions are executed in one clock cycle.
Integer multiply can be either serial or parallel implementations. Serial
operations require one clock cycle per bit of operand, which is 32-cycles
on the OR1200. At present no synthesis tools support division operators,
and so the serial option must be used.
MAC Unit
^^^^^^^^
((MAC)) unit executes l.mac instructions. MAC unit implements 32x32 fully
pipelined multiplier and 48-bit accumulator. MAC unit can accept one new
l.mac instruction each clock cycle.
Care should be taken when executing l.macrc (MAC read and clear) too soon
after the final l.mac instruction as the operation may still be underway
and the result will not be valid in time. It is recommended at least 3 other
instructions (or just l.nops) are inserted between the final l.mac and l.macrc.
Floating Point Unit
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The ((floating point unit)) has a mechanism to stall the processor pipeline
until processing has completed.
The following table indicates the number of cycles per operation
[[exec_time_fp_table]]
.Execution time of floating point instructions
[width="60%",options="header"]

System Unit
^^^^^^^^^^^
((System unit)) implements system control and status special-purpose registers
and executes all l.mtspr/l.mfspr instructions.
Exceptions
^^^^^^^^^^
The core implements a precise ((exception model)). This means that when an
exception is taken, the following conditions are met:
* Subsequent instructions in program flow are discarded
* Previous instructions finish and write back their results
* The address of faulting instruction is saved in EPCR registers and the
machine state is saved to ESR registers
* If the exception occurred in a delay slot, the DSX bit of the SR is set

Data Cache Operation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Data Cache Load/Store Access
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Load/store unit requests data from the data ((cache)) and stores them into
the general-purpose register file and forwards them to integer execution
units. Therefore LSU is tightly coupled with the data cache.
If there is no data cache line miss nor ((DTLB)) miss, load operations take
two clock cycles to execute and store operations take one clock cycle to
execute. LSU does all the data alignment work.
Data can be written to the data cache on a word, half-word or byte basis. Since
data cache only operates in write-through mode, all writes are immediately
written back to main memory or to the next level of caches.
[[wb_write_fig]]
.WISHBONE Write Cycle
image::img/wb_write.gif[scaledwidth="70%",align="center"]
<<wb_write_fig>> shows how a ((write-through)) cycle on data WISHBONE interface
is performed when a store instruction hits in the data cache. If +dwb_ERR_I+
or +dwb_RTY_I+ is asserted instead of usual +dwb_ACK_I+, bus error exception
is invoked.
Data Cache Line Fill Operation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When executing load instruction and a cache miss occurs, depending on whether
the cache uses ((write-through)) or ((write-back)) strategy and the line
is clean or invalid, a 4 beat sequential read burst with critical word
first is performed. If the strategy is write-back and the line is dirty,
the line is first written back to memory. The critical word is forwarded to
the load/store unit to minimize performance loss because of the cache miss.
[[wb_read_fig]]
.WISHBONE Block Read Cycle
image::img/wb_read.gif[scaledwidth="70%",align="center"]
<<wb_read_fig>> shows how a cache line is read in WISHBONE read block cycle
composed out of four read transfers. If +dwb_ERR_I+ or +dwb_RTY_I+ is asserted
instead of usual +dwb_ACK_I+, bus error exception is invoked.
When executing a store instruction with the cache in write-through strategy,
and a cache miss occurs, the write is simply put on the bus and no caching
occurs. If it is a miss and the cache is in write back strategy and the line
is valid and clean or invalid, a 4 beat sequential read burst to fill the
line is performed, and the the write to cache occurs. If storing and a cache
miss occurs, and the desired line is valid and dirty, it is first written
back to memory before the desired line is read.
[[wb_rw_fig]]
.WISHBONE Block Read/Write Cycle
image::img/wb_rw.gif[scaledwidth="70%",align="center"]
<<wb_rw_fig>> shows how a cache line is read in WISHBONE read block cycle
followed by a write transfer. If +dwb_ERR_I+ or +dwb_RTY_I+ is asserted instead
of usual +dwb_ACK_I+, bus error exception is invoked.
Cache/Memory Coherency
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Data cache in OR1200 operates in either write-through or write-back mode,
definable at synthesis time, for default use, and runtime when DMMU is
used. There is currently no ((coherency)) support between local data cache and
caches of other processors.
Data Cache Enabling/Disabling
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Data cache is disabled at power up. Entire data cache can be enabled by setting
bit SR[DCE] to one. Before data cache is enabled, it must be invalidated.
Data Cache Invalidation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Data cache in OR1200 does not support ((invalidation)) of entire data
cache. Normal procedure to invalidate entire data cache is to cycle through
all data cache lines and invalidate each line separately.
Data Cache Locking
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Data cache implements way ((locking)) bits in data cache control register
DCCR. Bits LWx lock individual ways when they are set to one.
Data Cache Line Prefetch
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Data cache line ((prefetch)) is optional in the OpenRISC 1000 architecture and
is not implemented in OR1200.
Data Cache Line ((Flush))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Operation is performed by writing effective address to the DCBFR register.
When a cache line is valid and clean, or the cache is in write-through
strategy, the line is invalidated and no write-back occurs.
Data Cache Line Invalidate
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Data cache line ((invalidate)) invalidates a single data cache line. Operation
is performed by writing effective address to the DCBIR register. If cache
is in write-back strategy, it is best to use the line flush function.
Data Cache Line ((Write-back))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Operation is performed by writing effective address to the DCBWR register.
If cache is in ((write-through)) strategy, this operation is ignored as no
lines will be cached and dirty, capable of being written back.
Data Cache Line ((Lock))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Locking of individual data cache lines is not implemented in OR1200.
Data Cache ((inhibit)) with address bit 31 set
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If DMMU is disabled, by default all addresses with bit 31 of the address
asserted high will cause the data cache to be inhibited, meaning no reads
or writes are cached.
If the ((DMMU)) is enabled, it is possible for any address to be inhibited
or not, and in these modes the cache behaves accordingly.
Instruction ((Cache)) Operation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Instruction Cache Instruction ((Fetch)) Access
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Instruction unit requests instruction from the instruction cache and forwards
them to the instruction queue inside instruction unit. Therefore instruction
unit is tightly coupled with the instruction cache.
If there is no instruction cache line ((miss)) nor ITLB miss, instruction fetch
operation takes one clock cycle to execute.
Instruction cache cannot be explicitly modified like data cache can be with
store instructions.
Instruction Cache Line Fill Operation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
On a cache miss, a 4 beat sequential read burst with critical word first is
performed. Critical word is forwarded to the instruction unit to minimize
performance loss because of the cache miss.
[[wb_block_read_fig]]
.WISHBONE Block Read Cycle
image::img/wb_block_read.gif[scaledwidth="70%",align="center"]
<<wb_block_read_fig>> shows how a cache line is read in WISHBONE read block
cycle composed out of four read transfers. If +iwb_ERR_I+ or +iwb_RTY_I+ is
asserted instead of usual +dwb_ACK_I+, bus error exception is invoked.
Cache/Memory ((Coherency))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
OR1200 is not intended for use in multiprocessor environments. Therefore no
support for coherency between local instruction cache and caches of other
processors or main memory is implemented.
Instruction Cache Enabling/Disabling
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Instruction cache is disabled at power up. Entire instruction cache can be
enabled by setting bit SR[ICE] to one. Before instruction cache is enabled,
it must be invalidated.
Instruction Cache ((Invalidation))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Instruction cache in OR1200 does not support invalidation of entire instruction
cache. Normal procedure to invalidate entire instruction cache is to cycle
through all instruction cache lines and invalidate each line separately.
Instruction Cache Locking
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Instruction cache implements way locking bits in instruction cache control
register ICCR. Bits LWx lock individual ways when they are set to one.
Instruction Cache Line ((Prefetch))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Instruction cache line prefetch is optional in the OpenRISC 1000 architecture
and is not implemented in OR1200.
Instruction Cache Line ((Invalidate))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Instruction cache line invalidate invalidates a single instruction cache
line. Operation is performed by writing effective address to the ICBIR
register.
Instruction ((Cache Line Lock))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Locking of individual instruction cache lines is not implemented in OR1200.
Data MMU
~~~~~~~~
Translation Disabled
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Load/store address translation can be disabled by clearing bit SR[DME]. If
translation is disabled, then physical address used to access data cache
and optionally provided on +dwb_ADDR_O+, is the same as load/store effective
address.
(((Address Translation,Data)))
Translation Enabled
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Load/store address translation can be enabled by setting bit SR[DME]. If
translation is enabled, it provides load/store effective address to physical
address translation and page protection for memory accesses.
(((Address Translation,Data)))
[[addr_translation_fig]]
.32-bit Address Translation Mechanism using Two-Level Page Table
image::img/addr_translation.gif[scaledwidth="70%",align="center"]
In OR1200 case, ((page tables)) must be managed by operating system's virtual
memory management subsystem. <<addr_translation_fig>> shows address translation
using two-level page table. Refer to <<or1000_manual>> for one-level page
table address translation as well as for details about address translation
and page table content.
((DMMUCR)) and Flush of Entire ((DTLB))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
DMMUCR is not implemented in OR1200. Therefore page table base pointer (PTBP)
must be stored in software variable. Flush of entire DTLB must be performed
by software flush of every DTLB entry separately. Software flush is performed
by manually writing bits from the TLB entries back to PTEs.
Page Protection
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After a virtual address is determined to be within a page covered by the
valid PTE, the access is validated by the memory protection mechanism. If
this protection mechanism prohibits the access, a data page fault exception
is generated.
(((Page Protection,Data)))
The memory protection mechanism allows selectively granting read access
and write access for both supervisor and user modes. The page protection
mechanism provides protection at all page level granularities.
[[protection_attrs_ldst_table]]
.Protection Attributes for Load/Store Accesses
[width="70%",options="header"]
|================================
| Protection attribute | Meaning
| DTLBWyTR[SREx] | Enable load operations in supervisor mode to the
page.
| DTLBWyTR[SWEx] | Enable store operations in supervisor mode to the
page.
| DTLBWyTR[UREx] | Enable load operations in user mode to the page.
| DTLBWyTR[UWEx] | Enable store operations in user mode to the page.
|================================
<<protection_attrs_ldst_table>> lists page protection attributes defined in
DTLBWyTR pregister. For the individual page appropriate strategy out of
seven possible strategies programmed with the PPI field of the PTE. Because
OR1200 does not implement DMMUPR, translation of PTE[PPI] into suitable set
of protection bits must be performed by software and written into DTLBWyTR.
((DTLB)) Entry Reload
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
OR1200 does not implement DTLB entry reloads in hardware. Instead software
routine must be used to search page table for correct page table entry (PTE)
and copy it into the DTLB. Software is responsible for maintaining accessed
and dirty bits in the page tables.
When LSU computes load/store effective address whose physical address is
not already cached by DTLB, a DTLB miss exception is invoked.
DTLB reload routine must load the correct ((PTE)) to correct ((DTLBWyMR))
and ((DTLBWyTR)) register from one of possible DTLB ways.
DTLB Entry Invalidation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Special-purpose register DTLBEIR must be written with the effective address
and corresponding DTLB entry will be invalidated in the local DTLB.
Locking DTLB Entries
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Since all DTLB entry reloads are performed in software, there is no hardware
locking of DTLB entries. Instead it is up to the software reload routine to
avoid replacing some of the entries if so desired.
Page Attribute - Dirty (D)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Dirty (D) attribute is not implemented in OR1200 DTLB. It is up to the
operating system to generate dirty attribute bit with page protection
mechanism.
(((Page Attributes,Data)))
Page Attribute - Accessed (A)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Accessed (A) attribute is not implemented in OR1200 DTLB. It is up to the
operating system to generate accessed attribute bit with page protection
mechanism.
(((Page Attributes,Data)))
Page Attribute - Weakly Ordered Memory (WOM)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Weakly ordered memory (WOM) attribute is not needed in OR1200 because all
memory accesses are serialized and therefore this attribute is not implemented.
(((Page Attributes,Data)))
Page Attribute - Write-Back Cache (WBC)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Write-back cache (WBC) attribute is not implemented as the data cache cannot
be configured at run time to be write-back enabled if write-through strategy
was selected at synthesis-time.
(((Page Attributes,Data)))
Page Attribute - Caching-Inhibited (CI)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Caching-inhibited (CI) attribute is not implemented in OR1200 DTLB. Cached
and uncached regions are divided by bit 30 of data effective address.
(((Page Attributes,Data)))
[[data_cached_regions_table]]
.Cached and uncached regions
[width="70%",options="header"]
|===============================
| Effective Address | Region
| 0x00000000 - 0x3FFFFFFF | Cached
| 0x40000000 - 0x7FFFFFFF | Uncached
| 0x80000000 - 0xBFFFFFFF | Cached
| 0xC0000000 - 0xFFFFFFFF | Uncached
|===============================
Uncached accesses must be performed when I/O registers are memory mapped
and all reads and writes must be always performed directly to the external
interface and not to the data cache.
Page Attribute - Cache Coherency (CC)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Cache coherency (CC) attribute is not needed in OR1200 because it does not
implement support for multiprocessor environments and because data cache
operates only in write-through mode and therefore this attribute is not
implemented.
(((Page Attributes,Data)))
((Instruction MMU))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Translation Disabled
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Instruction fetch address translation can be disabled by clearing bit
SR[IME]. If translation is disabled, then physical address used to access
instruction cache and optionally provided on iwb_ADDR_O, is the same as
instruction fetch effective address.
(((Address Translation,Instruction)))
Translation Enabled
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Instruction fetch address translation can be enabled by setting bit
SR[IME]. If translation is enabled, it provides instruction fetch effective
address to physical address translation and page protection for instruction
fetch accesses.
(((Address Translation,Instruction)))
[[addr_translation_rep_fig]]
.32-bit Address Translation Mechanism using Two-Level Page Table
image::img/addr_translation.gif[scaledwidth="70%",align="center"]
In OR1200 case, page tables must be managed by operating system s virtual
memory management subsystem. <<addr_translation_rep_fig>> shows address
translation using two-level page table. Refer to <<or1000_manual>> for
one-level page table address translation as well as for details about address
translation and page table content.
((IMMUCR)) and ((Flush)) of Entire ITLB
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
IMMUCR is not implemented in OR1200. Therefore page table base pointer (PTBP)
must be stored in software variable. Flush of entire ITLB must be performed
by software flush of every ITLB entry separately. Software flush is performed
by manually writing bits from the TLB entries back to PTEs.
Page Protection
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After a virtual address is determined to be within a page covered by the
valid PTE, the access is validated by the memory protection mechanism. If
this protection mechanism prohibits the access, an instruction page fault
exception is generated.
(((Page Protection,Instruction)))
The memory protection mechanism allows selectively granting execute access
for both supervisor and user modes. The page protection mechanism provides
protection at all page level granularities.
[[protection_attrs_inst_table]]
.Protection Attributes for Instruction Fetch Accesses
[width="70%",options="header"]
|================================
| Protection attribute | Meaning
| ITLBWyTR[SXEx] | Enable execute operations in supervisor mode of the
page.
| ITLBWyTR[UXEx] | Enable execute operations in user mode of the page.
|================================
<<protection_attrs_inst_table>> lists page protection attributes defined
in ITLBWyTR pregister. For the individual page appropriate strategy out
of seven possible strategies programmed with PPI field of the PTE. Because
OR1200 does not implement IMMUPR, translation of PTE[PPI] into suitable set
of protection bits must be performed by software and written into ITLBWyTR.
((ITLB)) Entry Reload
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
OR1200 does not implement ITLB entry reloads in hardware. Instead software
routine must be used to search page table for correct page table entry (PTE)
and copy it into the ITLB. Software is responsible for maintaining accessed
bit in the page tables.
When LSU computes instruction fetch effective address whose physical address
is not already cached by ITLB, an ITLB miss exception is invoked.
ITLB reload routine must load the correct PTE to correct ITLBWyMR and ITLBWyTR
register from one of possible ITLB ways.
ITLB Entry Invalidation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Special-purpose register ITLBEIR must be written with the effective address
and corresponding ITLB entry will be invalidated in the local ITLB.
Locking ITLB Entries
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Since all ITLB entry reloads are performed in software, there is no hardware
locking of ITLB entries. Instead it is up to the software reload routine to
avoid replacing some of the entries if so desired.
Page Attribute - Dirty (D)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Dirty (D) attribute resides in the PTE but it is not used by the IMMU.
(((Page Attributes,Instruction)))
Page Attribute - Accessed (A)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Accessed (A) attribute is not implemented in OR1200 ITLB. It is up to the
operating system to generate accessed attribute bit with page protection
mechanism.

Page Attribute - Cache Coherency (CC)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Cache coherency (CC) attribute resides in the PTE but it is not used by
the IMMU.
(((Page Attributes,Instruction)))
((Programmable Interrupt Controller))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PICMR special-purpose register is used to mask or unmask up to 30 programmable
interrupt sources. PICPR special-purpose register is used to assign low or
high priority to maximum of 30 interrupt sources.
PICSR special-purpose register is used to determine status of each interrupt
input. Bits in PICSR represent status of the interrupt inputs and the
actual interrupt must be cleared in the device that is the source of a
pending interrupt.
The ((PIC)) implementation in the OR1200 differs from the architecture
specification. The PIC instead offers a latched level-sensitive interrupt.
Once an interrupt line is latched (i.e. its value appears in PICSR), no
new interrupts can be triggered for that line until its bit in PICSR is
cleared. The usual sequence for an interrupt handler is then as follows.
. Peripheral asserts interrupt, which is latched and triggers handler.
. Handler processes interrupt.
. Handler notifies peripheral that the interrupt has been processed (typically
via a memory mapped register).
. Peripheral deasserts interrupt.
. Handler clears corresponding bit in PICSR and returns.
It is assumed that the peripheral will de-assert its interrupt promptly
(within 1-2 cycles). Otherwise on exiting the interrupt handler, having
cleared PICSR, the level sensitive interrupt will immediately retrigger.
((Tick Timer))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tick timer facility is enabled with TTMR[M]. TTCR is incremented with each
clock cycle and a high priority interrupt can be asserted whenever lower 28
bits of TTCR match TTMR[TP] and TTMR[IE] is set.
TTCR restarts counting from zero when match event happens and TTMR[M] is
0x1. If TTMR[M] is 0x2, TTCR is stoped when match event happens and TTCR
must be changed to start counting again. When TTMR[M] is 0x3, TTCR keeps
counting even when match event happens.
((Power Management))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
((Clock Gating)) and Frequency Changing Versus CPU Stalling
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If system doesn t support clock gating and if changing clock frequency in
slow down mode is not possible, CPU can be stalled for certain number of
clock cycles. This is much lower benefit on power consumption however it
still reduces power consumption.
Slow Down Mode
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Slow down mode is software controlled with the 4-bit value in PMR[SDF]. Lower
value specifies higher expected performance from the processor core. Usually
PMR[SDF] is dynamically set by the operating system s idle routine, that
monitors the usage of the processor core.
(((Mode,Slow Down)))
PMR[SDF] is broadcast on +pm_clksd+. External clock generator should adjust
clock frequency according to the value of +pm_clksd+. Exact slow down factors
are not defined but 0xF should go all the way down to 32.768 KHz.
With +pm_clksd+ equal to 0xF, +pm_lvolt+ is asserted. This is an indication for
the external power supply to lower the voltage.
Doze Mode
^^^^^^^^^
To switch to doze mode, software should set the PMR[DME]. Once an interrupt
is received by the programmable interrupt controller (PIC), +pm_wakeup+
is asserted and external clock generation circuitry should enable all
clocks. Once clocks are running RISC is switched back again to the normal
mode and PMR[DME] is cleared.
(((Mode,Doze)))
When doze mode is enabled, +pm_dc_gate+, +pm_ic_gate+, +pm_dmmu_gate+,
+pm_immu_gate+ and +pm_cpugate+ are asserted. As a result all clocks except
+clk_tt+ should be gated by external clock generation circuitry.
Sleep Mode
^^^^^^^^^^
To switch to sleep mode, software should set the PMR[SME]. Once an interrupt
is received by the programmable interrupt controller (PIC), +pm_wakeup+ is
asserted and external clock generation should enable all clocks. Once clocks
are running, RISC is switched back again to the normal mode and PMR[SME]
is cleared.
(((Mode,Sleep)))
When sleep mode is enabled, +pm_dc_gate+, +pm_ic_gate+, +pm_dmmu_gate+,
+pm_immu_gate+, +pm_cpu_gate+ and +pm_tt_gate+ are asserted. As a result
all clocks including +clk_tt+ should be gated by external clock generation
circuitry.
In sleep mode, +pm_lvolt+ is asserted. This is an indication for the external
power supply to lower the voltage.
Clock Gating
^^^^^^^^^^^^
((Clock gating)) feature is not implemented in OR1200 power management.
Disabled Units Force Clock Gating
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Units that are disabled in special-purpose register SR, have their clock
gate signals asserted. Cleared bits SR[DCE], SR[ICE], SR[DME] and SR[IME]
directly force assertion of +pm_dc_gate+, +pm_ic_gate+, +pm_dmmu_gate+
and +pm_immu_gate+.
((Debug Unit))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Debug unit can be controlled through development interface or it can operate
independently programmed and handled by the RISC s resident debug software.
((Watchpoints))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
OR1200 debug unit does not implement OR12000 architecture watchpoints.
((Breakpoint)) Exception
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Which breakpointDMR2[WGB] bits specify which watchpoints invoke breakpoint
exception. By invoking breakpoint exception, target resident debugger can
be built.
Breakpoint is broadcast on development interface on +dbg_bp_o+.
((Development Interface))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOTE: The information in this section is to be reviewed. It is the author's
opinion that the debug interface is now largely provided by the SPR mappings,
and no special sideband functions exist aside from stalling and resetting
the core.
An additional _development and debug interface IP_ core may be used to connect
OpenRISC 1200 to standard debuggers using IEEE.1149.1 (JTAG) protocol.
((Debugging)) Through ((Development Interface))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The DSR special-purpose register specifies which exceptions cause the core
to stop the execution of the exception handler and turn over control to
development interface. It can be programmed by the resident debug software
or by the development interface.
The DRR special-purpose register is specifies which event caused the core to
stop the execution of program flow and turned over control to the development
interface. It should be cleared by the resident debug software or by the
development interface.
The DIR special-purpose register is not implemented.
Reading PC, Load/Store EA, Load Data, Store Data, Instruction
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Crucial information like ((program counter)) (PC), load/store effective
address (LSEA), load data, store data and current instruction in execution
pipeline can be asynchronously read through the development interface.

Reading and Writing SPRs Through Development Interface
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For reads and write to SPRs +dbg_op_i+ must be set to 0x4 and 0x5,
respectively.
[[dev_interface_cycles_fig]]
.Development Interface Cycles
image::img/dev_interface_cycles.gif[scaledwidth="70%",align="center"]
<<dev_interface_cycles_fig>> shows development interface cycles. Writes must
be synchronous to the main RISC clock positive edge and should take one clock
cycle. Reads must take two clock cycles because access to synchronous cache
lines or to TLB entries introduces one clock cycle of delay.
If required, external debugger can stop the CPU core by asserting
+dbg_stall_i+. This way it can have enough time to read all interesting
registers from the RISC or guarantee that writes into SPRs are performed
without RISC writing to the same registers.
Tracking ((Data Flow))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
An external debugger can monitor and record data flow inside the RISC for
debugging purposes and profiling analysis. This is accomplished by monitoring
status of the load/store unit, load/store effective address and load/store
data, all available at the development interface.

Tracking ((Program Flow))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
An external debugger can monitor and record program flow inside the RISC
for debugging purposes and profiling analysis. This is accomplished by
monitoring status of the instruction unit, PC and fetched instruction word,
all available at the development interface.

|=========================================
External trace buffer can capture all interesting program flow
events by analyzing status of the instruction unit available on
+dbg_is_o+. <<status_inst_unit_table>> lists different status encoding for
the instruction unit.
Triggering ((External Watchpoint Event))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
<<watchpoint_trigger_fig>> shows how development interface can assert
+dbg_ewt_I+ and cause watchpoint event. If programmed, external watchpoint
event will cause a breakpoint exception.

((Registers))
-------------
This section describes all registers inside the OR1200 core. Shifting _GRP_
number 11 bits left and adding _REG_ number computes the address of each
special-purpose register. All registers are 32 bits wide from software
perspective. _USER MODE_ and _SUPV MODE_ specify the valid access types for
each register in user mode and supervisor mode of operation. R/W stands for
read and write access and R stands for read only access.
