Note that some registers common to other processors that implement the PowerPC architecture may not

be implemented in the MPC8280’s processor core. Unsupported SPR values are treated as follows:

•

Any mtspr with an invalid SPR executes as a no-op.

•

Any mfspr with an invalid SPR causes boundedly undefined results in the target register.

Conversely, some SPRs in the processor core may not be implemented or may not be implemented in the

same way as in other processors that implement the PowerPC architecture.

2.3.1.1

PowerPC Register Set

The PowerPC UISA registers, shown in Figure 2-2, can be accessed by either user- or supervisor-level

instructions. The general-purpose registers (GPRs) and floating-point registers (FPRs) are accessed

through instruction operands. Access to registers can be explicit (that is, through the use of specific

instructions for that purpose such as the mtspr and mfspr instructions) or implicit as part of the execution

(or side effect) of an instruction. Some registers are accessed both explicitly and implicitly.

The number to the right of the register name indicates the number that is used in the syntax of the

instruction operands to access the register (for example, the number used to access the XER is 1). For more

information on the PowerPC register set, refer to Chapter 2 in The Programming Environments Manual.

Note that the reset value of the MSR exception prefix bit (MSR[IP]), described in the G2 Core Reference

Manual, is determined by the CIP bit in the hard reset configuration word in the MPC8280. This is

described in Section 5.4.1, “Hard Reset Configuration Word.”
