3.3.3 Exception Processing Overview
Exception processing for ColdFire processors is streamlined for performance. The ColdFire processors
differ from the M68000 family because they include:
• A simplified exception vector table
• Reduced relocation capabilities using the vector-base register
• A single exception stack frame format
• Use of separate system stack pointers for user and supervisor modes.
All ColdFire processors use an instruction restart exception model. However, Version 2 ColdFire
processors require more software support to recover from certain access errors. See
Section 3.3.4.1,
“Access Error Exception ” for details.
Exception processing includes all actions from fault condition detection to the initiation of fetch for first
handler instruction. Exception processing is comprised of four major steps:
1. The processor makes an internal copy of the SR and then enters supervisor mode by setting the S
bit and disabling trace mode by clearing the T bit. The interrupt exception also forces the M bit to
be cleared and the interrupt priority mask to set to current interrupt request level.
2. The processor determines the exception vector number. For all faults except interrupts, the
processor performs this calculation based on exception type. For interrupts, the processor performs
an interrupt-acknowledge (IACK) bus cycle to obtain the vector number from the interrupt
controller. The IACK cycle is mapped to special locations within the interrupt controller’s address
space with the interrupt level encoded in the address.
3. The processor saves the current context by creating an exception stack frame on the system stack.
The exception stack frame is created at a 0-modulo-4 address on top of the system stack pointed to
by the supervisor stack pointer (SSP). As shown in
Figure 3-16 , the processor uses a simplified

Instruction Description
BITREV The contents of the destination data register are bit-reversed; that is, new Dn[31] equals old
Dn[0], new Dn[30] equals old Dn[1],..., new Dn[0] equals old Dn[31].
BYTEREV The contents of the destination data register are byte-reversed; that is, new Dn[31:24] equals
old Dn[7:0],..., new Dn[7:0] equals old Dn[31:24].
FF1 The data register, Dn, is scanned, beginning from the most-significant bit (Dn[31]) and ending
with the least-significant bit (Dn[0]), searching for the first set bit. The data register is then
loaded with the offset count from bit 31 where the first set bit appears.

STLDSR Pushes the contents of the status register onto the stack and then reloads the status register
