3.3.6 Fault Address Register
Reading CP15 Register 6 returns the value of the Fault Address Register (FAR). The FAR
holds the virtual address of the access that was attempted when a fault occurred. The FAR is
only updated on data faults. There is no update on prefetch faults.
Writing to CP15 Register 6 sets the FAR to the value of the data written. This is useful when
a debugger has to restore the value of the FAR.
The CRm and opcode_2 fields Should Be Zero when reading or writing CP15 Register 6. Fault
Address Register format is shown in Figure 3-9.

Note:
Register 6 contains a modified virtual address if the FCSE PID register is nonzero.
3.3.7 Cache Operations Register
Writing to CP15 Register 7 manages the unified instruction and data cache of the ARM720T.
Only one cache operation is defined using the following opcode_2 and CRm fields in the MCR
instruction that writes the CP15 Register 7.
Caution:
The Invalidate ID cache function invalidates all cache data. Use this with caution.
Register 7 is shown in Table 3-2.
Reading from CP15 Register 7 is undefined.
3.3.8 TLB Operations Register
Writing to CP15 Register 8 controls the Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB). The ARM720T
processor implements a unified instruction and data TLB.
Two TLB operations are defined. The function to be performed is selected by the opcode_2 and
CRm fields in the MCR instruction used to write CP15 Register 8.
The TLB operations and the instructions that you can use are shown in Table 3-3.
