4.2
There are four registers related to exception processing. These are peripheral module registers, and
therefore reside in area P4. They can be accessed by specifying the address in the privileged mode
only.
There are following four registers related to exception processing. Registers with undefined initial
values (TRAPA exception register, Interrupt event register, and Interrupt event register 2) should
be initialized by software. Refer to section 23, List of Registers, for more details of the addresses
and access sizes.
4.2.1
The exception event register (EXPEVT) contains a 12-bit exception code. The exception code set
in EXPEVT is that for a reset or general exception event. The exception code is set automatically
by hardware when an exception occurs. EXPEVT can also be modified by software.
Note:* H'0000 is set in a power-on reset, and H'020 in a manual reset.
4.2.2
The interrupt event register (INTEVT) contains a 12-bit interrupt exception code or a code
indicating the interrupt priority. Which is set when an interrupt occurs depends on the interrupt
source (refer to section 6, Interrupt Controller (INTC)). The exception code or interrupt priority
code is set automatically by hardware when an exception occurs. INTEVT can also be modified by
software.
