3.3.6 Device Control Registers
Device Control Registers (DCRs), on-chip registers that exist architecturally outside the processor
core, are not part of the
IBM PowerPC Embedded Environment. The Embedded Environment simply
defines the existence of a
DCR address space
and
the instructions that access the DCRs, but does
not define any DCRs. The instructions that access the DCRs are mtdcr (move to device control
register) and mfdcr (move from device control register).
DCRs are used to control the operations of on-chip buses, peripherals, and some processor behavior.
