2.2.1 Logical Address Space
The LSI supports 32-bit logical addresses and accesses system resources using the 4-Gbytes of
logical address space. User programs and data are accessed from the logical address space. The
logical address space is divided into several areas as shown in table 2.1.
P0/U0 Area: This area is called the P0 area when the CPU is in privileged mode and the U0 area
when in user mode. For the P0 and U0 areas, access using the cache is enabled. The P0 and U0
areas are handled as address translatable areas.
If the cache is enabled, access to the P0 or U0 area is cached. If a P0 or U0 address is specified
while the address translation unit is enabled, the P0 or U0 address is translated into a physical
address based on translation information defined by the user.
If the CPU is in user mode, only the U0 area can be accessed. If P1, P2, P3, or P4 is accessed in
user mode, a transition to an address error exception occurs.
P1 Area: The P1 area is defined as a cacheable but non-address translatable area. Normally,
programs executed at high speed in privileged mode, such as exception processing handlers, which
are at the core of the operating system (S), are assigned to the P1 area.
P2 Area: The P2 area is defined as a non-cacheable but non-address translatable area. A reset
processing program to be called from the reset state is described at the start address (H'A0000000)
of the P2 area. Normally, programs such as system initialization routines and OS initiation
programs are assigned to the P2 area. To access a part of an on-chip I/O, its corresponding
program should be assigned to the P2 area.
P3 Area: The P3 area is defined as a cacheable and address translatable area. This area is used if
an address translation is required for a privileged program.
P4 Area: The P4 area is defined as a control area which is non-cacheable and non-address
translatable. This area can be accessed only in privileged mode. A part of the LSI's on-chip I/O is
assigned to this area.
