Section 4 Memory Management Unit (MMU)
4.5
When the address translation unit of the MMU is enabled, occurrence of the MMU exception is
checked following the CPU address error check. There are four MMU exceptions: TLB miss, TLB
invalid, TLB protection violation, and initial page write, and these MMU exceptions are checked
in this order.
4.5.1
A TLB miss results when the virtual address and the address array of the selected TLB entry are
compared and no match is found. TLB miss exception processing includes both hardware and
software operations.

In a TLB miss, this hardware executes a set of prescribed operations, as follows:
A. The VPN field of the virtual address causing the exception is written to the PTEH register.
B. The virtual address causing the exception is written to the TEA register.
C. Either exception code H'040 for a load access, or H'060 for a store access, is written to the
D. The PC value indicating the address of the instruction in which the exception occurred is
E The contents of the status register (SR) at the time of the exception are written to the save
F. The mode (MD) bit in SR is set to 1 to place the privileged mode.
G. The block (BL) bit in SR is set to 1 to mask any further exception requests.
H. The register bank (RB) bit in SR is set to 1.
I. The RC field in the MMU control register (MMUCR) is incremented by 1 when all entries
J. Execution branches to the address obtained by adding the value of the VBR contents and

value indicating the address of the related delayed branch instruction is written to the SPC.

them is set in RC. The setting priority is way0, way1, way2, and way3.
