Chapter 5
Core Complex Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the e500 microprocessor core.
References to e500 are true for both the e500v1 and e500v2.
This chapter includes the following:
The e500 core provides features that the integrated device may not implement or may implement in a more
specific way.
5.1
The e500 core is a low-power implementation of the resources for embedded processors defined by the
Power ISA. The core is a 32-bit implementation using the lower words in the 64-bit general-purpose
registers (GPRs).
