Related Documentation
Freescale documentation is available from the sources listed on the back cover of this manual; the
document order numbers are included in parentheses for ease in ordering:
• EREF: A Reference for Freescale Book E and the e500 Core (EREF)—This book provides
a higher-level view of the programming model as it is defined by Book E, the Freescale
Book E implementation standards, and the e500 microprocessor.
• e500 Software Optimization Guide (eSOG) (AN2665)—This manual provides information
to programmers so that they may write optimal code for the e500.
• Reference manuals—These books provide details about individual implementations and
are intended for use with the EREF.
• Addenda/errata to reference manuals—Because some processors have follow-on parts, an
addendum is provided that describes the additional features and functionality changes.
These addenda are intended for use with the corresponding reference manuals.
• Hardware specifications—Hardware specifications provide specific data regarding bus
timing, signal behavior, and AC, DC, and thermal characteristics, as well as other design
considerations.
• Product briefs—Each device has a product brief that provides an overview of its features.
This document is roughly the equivalent to the overview (Chapter 1) of an
implementation’s reference manual.
• Application notes—These short documents address specific design issues useful to
programmers and engineers working with Freescale processors.
Additional literature is published as new processors become available. For a current list of

This document uses the following notational conventions:
cleared/set When a bit takes the value zero, it is said to be cleared; when it takes a value
of one, it is said to be set.
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.
Internal signals are set in italics, for example, qual BG
