manual as well as general information about the PowerPC architecture.
MPC8xx Documentation
Supporting documentation for the MPC8260 can be accessed through the world-wide web
at http://www.motorola.com/SPS/RISC/netcomm. This documentation includes technical
speciÞcations, reference materials, and detailed applications notes.
PowerPC Documentation
The PowerPC documentation is organized in the following types of documents:
¥ PowerPC Microprocessor Family: The Bus Interface for 32-Bit Microprocessors
(Motorola order #: MPCBUSIF/AD) provides a detailed functional description of
the 60x bus interface, as implemented on the PowerPC MPC601ª, MPC603,
MPC604, and MPC750 family of PowerPC microprocessors. This document is
intended to help system and chip set developers by providing a centralized reference
source to identify the bus interface presented by the 60x family of PowerPC
microprocessors.
¥ Application notesÑThese short documents contain useful information about
speciÞc design issues useful to programmers and engineers working with PowerPC
processors.

Conventions
This document uses the following notational conventions:
Bold entries in Þgures and tables showing registers and parameter
RAM should be initialized by the user.
mnemonics Instruction mnemonics are shown in lowercase bold.
italics Italics indicate variable command parameters, for example, bcctrx.
Book titles in text are set in italics.
0x0 PreÞx to denote hexadecimal number
0b0 PreÞx to denote binary number
REG[FIELD] Abbreviations or acronyms for registers or buffer descriptors are
shown in uppercase text. SpeciÞc bits, Þelds, or numerical ranges
appear in brackets. For example, MSR[LE] refers to the little-endian
mode enable bit in the machine state register.
x In certain contexts, such as in a signal encoding or a bit Þeld,
indicates a donÕt care.
