AM29000 Streamlined Instruction Processor - User's Manual

by Mike Johnson (editor)

This Manual contains information on the Am29000 processor which is essential for
computer hardware and software architects and system design engineers. Additional
information is available in the form of Data Sheets, Application Notes, and other
documentation which is provided with software products and hardware-development tools.
The information in this manual is organized into eight chapters, each viewing the
processor from a different perspective, and each with a specific objective:
Chapter 1 introduces the features and performance aspects of the
Am29000.
Chapter 2 contains brief technical descriptions of the processor
architecture and implementation.
Chapter 3 describes the details of the Am29000 architecture.
Chapter 4 details the operation of the processor's internal functional
units.
Chapter 5 describes the operation of the external interfaces of the
Am29000.
Chapter 6 describes the attachment and use of coprocessors for the
Am29000
Chapter 7 discusses the implementation of software systems for the
processor, focusing on programming features which deserve more
coverage than is provided by other chapters.
Chapter 8 specifies the instruction set of the Am29000. It describes
the instruction formats in detail, and provides a detailed description
of every instruction.
This Manual is organized around readers' concerns and objectives. Each chapter focuses
on a particular aspect of the processor, and is organized so that it may be read
independently, insofar as possible.
