Level one descriptor bit assignments are shown in Table 7-2. The two least significant bits of the level one descriptor indicate the descriptor type as shown in Table 7-3.Table7-2 Level one de scripto r bits
Bits Description
Section Coarse Fine
31:20 31:10 31:12 These bits form the corresponding bits of the
physical address
19:12 - - Should Be Zero
11:10 - - Access permission bits. Domain access control on
page 7-17 and Fault checking sequence on page
7-19 show how to interpret the access permission
bits
9 9 11:9 Should Be Zero
8:5 8:5 8:5 Domain control bits
4 4 4 Must be 1
3:2 - - These bits, C and B, indicate whether the area of
memory mapped by this page is treated as
cachable or noncachable, and bufferable or
nonbufferable. (The system is always
write-through.)
- 3:2 3:2 Should Be Zero
1:0 1:0 1:0 These bits indicate the page size and validity and
are interpreted as shown in Table 7-3
