Machine check 00200 A machine check is caused by the assertion of the TEA signal during a data bus
transaction, assertion of MCP
, or an address or data parity error.
DSI 00300 The cause of a DSI exception can be determined by the bit settings in the DSISR,
listed as follows:
1 Set if the translation of an attempted access is not found in the primary hash
table entry group (HTEG), or in the rehashed secondary HTEG, or in the range of
a DBAT register; otherwise cleared.
4Set if a memory access is not permitted by the page or DBAT protection
mechanism; otherwise cleared.
5Set by an eciwx or ecowx instruction if the access is to an address that is
marked as write-through, or execution of a load/store instruction that accesses a
direct-store segment.
6Set for a store operation and cleared for a load operation.
11Set if eciwx or ecowx is used and EAR[E] is cleared.
ISI 00400 An ISI exception is caused when an instruction fetch cannot be performed for any of
the following reasons:
The effective (logical) address cannot be translated. That is, there is a page fault
for this portion of the translation, so an ISI exception must be taken to load the
PTE (and possibly the page) into memory.
The fetch access is to a direct-store segment (indicated by SRR1[3] set).
The fetch access violates memory protection (indicated by SRR1[4] set). If the key
bits (Ks and Kp) in the segment register and the PP bits in the PTE are set to
prohibit read access, instructions cannot be fetched from this location.
External
interrupt
00500 An external interrupt is caused when MSR[EE] = 1 and the INT signal is asserted.
Alignment 00600 An alignment exception is caused when the processor core cannot perform a
memory access for any of the reasons described below:
The operand of a floating-point load or store is to a direct-store segment.
The operand of a floating-point load or store is not word-aligned.
The operand of a lmw, stmw, lwarx, or stwcx. is not word-aligned.
The operand of an elementary, multiple or string load or store crosses a segment
boundary with a change to the direct store T bit.
The operand of dcbz instruction is in memory that is write-through required or
caching inhibited, or dcbz is executed in an implementation that has either no
data cache or a write-through data cache.
A misaligned eciwx or ecowx instruction
A multiple or string access with MSR[LE] set
The processor core differs from

MPC603e User’s Manual

in that it initiates an
alignment exception when it detects a misaligned eciwx or ecowx instruction and
does not initiate an alignment exception when a little-endian access is misaligned.
