Introduction• Motorola controls roughly 40% of the
32-bit embedded processor market• ColdFire is the next generation 68K
(research on commonly used instructions and addressing modes)
• Result is a variable length RISC chip Length varies from 1 to 3 words

A0-A7: Address registers• Software stack pointers• Index registers• Base address registers• A7 is used as hardware stack pointer during
stacking for subroutine calls and exception handling

Floating Point Units• 8 64-bit FP data registers (FP0-FP7)
FP data registers are analogous to the integer data registers
Numbers stored in double-precision format• All external data, operands, etc are converted to
double –precision before storage
A reset or a null-restore sets FP0-FP7 to positive, nonsignaling NANs

FPUs cont…• ColdFire can execute Integer and FP
instructions simultaneously In case of exception, PC value stacked
doesn’t may not point to correct instruction For the FPU instructions that can generate
traps, the FPIAR is loaded with the PC address before FPU begins instructions

Optional MAC Module• Multiply and Accumulate Module

• Provides functionality in 3 areas:1. Faster signed and unsigned integer multiplies
2. New multiply-accumulate operations supporting signed and unsigned operands
3. New miscellaneous register operations

Supervisor Programming Model• Used to implement OS functions.• All accesses that affect the control
features of the ColdFire processors must be made in supervisor mode.

![Page 15: May 12 th, 2002 Microprocessors. Introduction Motorola controls roughly 40% of the 32-bit embedded processor market ColdFire is the next generation 68K.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649c775503460f9492bb7f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
OTHER_A7• This only exists in V4 of ColdFire
In V4, the SSP and SP exist to provide the necessary support for isolation as dictated by the virtual memory management scheme provided by the Memory Management Unit (MMU).
if SR[S] = 1 then
A7 = Supervisor Stack Pointer
other_A7 = User Stack Pointer
else
A7 = User Stack Pointer
other_A7 = Supervisor Stack Pointer

VBR (Vector Base Reg.)• Bits 0-19 are set to 0
• Bits 20-31 contains the 1MByte-aligned base address of the exception vector table in memory.
CACR (Cache Control Reg.)• Controls operation of data and
instruction cache memory• Bits can enable, freeze, invalidate cache• Also can define default cache mode and write-protect
fields
![Page 17: May 12 th, 2002 Microprocessors. Introduction Motorola controls roughly 40% of the 32-bit embedded processor market ColdFire is the next generation 68K.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649c775503460f9492bb7f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
ASID (Address Space Ident.)• Only the low-order 8 bits are
implemented.
• Each process has it’s own value, and with the 32-bit MMU will create a 40-bit virtual address space. Extends 4GB addressable space to 1TB
![Page 18: May 12 th, 2002 Microprocessors. Introduction Motorola controls roughly 40% of the 32-bit embedded processor market ColdFire is the next generation 68K.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649c775503460f9492bb7f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
continued…• The other registers address how
memory is accessed and mapped.See manual pages 26-28
![Page 19: May 12 th, 2002 Microprocessors. Introduction Motorola controls roughly 40% of the 32-bit embedded processor market ColdFire is the next generation 68K.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649c775503460f9492bb7f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Addressing Modes• There is an extensive list of ASM
commands that use different addressing modes. They enable you to do multiple operations
and access multiple resources using basic syntax, such as postincrement and predecrement of registers.
• Too many to discuss here. See manual pages 37-44.

Marketing Overview• 2 Independent decoupled piplelines
4-stage Instruction Fetch Pipeline (IFP) 5-stage Operand Execution Pipeline FIFO I-buffer is the decoupling mechanism
• Limited superscalar execution through use of instruction folding
• Approaches dual-issue performance but at a much lower silicon cost.
• 2-level branch acceleration mechanisms

Summary• This processor specializes in small code
and quick execution.
• Able to extend addressable space well beyond the 4GB virtual memory range
• Excels in integer manipulation and DSP functions by use of EMAC module, quite common.
• Lots of details in the compressed code, reference guide is a must have.
