5.5.2 Trap Instructions
When a TRAPA instruction is executed, trap instruction exception processing starts up. The CPU
operates as follows:
1. The status register (SR) is saved to the stack.
2. The program counter (PC) is saved to the stack. The PC value saved is the start address of the
instruction to be executed after the TRAPA instruction.
3. The exception service routine start address is fetched from the exception processing vector
table that corresponds to the vector number specified in the TRAPA instruction. That address
is jumped to and the program starts executing. The jump that occurs is not a delayed branch.
