3.3.1.3 Effective to Real Address Translation
Instruction accesses are generated by sequential instruction fetches or due to a change in program flow
(branches and interrupts). Data accesses are generated by load, store, and cache management instructions.
The instruction fetch, branch, and load/store units generate 32-bit effective addresses. The MMU translates
this effective address to a 32-bit real address which is then used for memory accesses. Figure 3-5 shows
the effective to real address translation flow.

3.3.1.4 Permissions
The application software can restrict access to virtual pages by selectively granting permissions for user
mode read, write, and execute, and supervisor mode read, write, and execute on a per-page basis. For
example, program code might be execute-only and data structures can be mapped as
read/write/no-execute.
The following access control bits support selective permissions for access control:
• SR—Supervisor read permission. Allows loads and load-type cache management instructions to
access the page while in supervisor mode.
• SW—Supervisor write permission. Allows stores and store-type cache management instructions to
access the page while in supervisor mode.
• SX—Supervisor execute permission. Allows instruction fetches to access the page and instructions
to be executed from the page while in supervisor mode.
• UR—User read permission. Allows loads and load-type cache management instructions to access
the page while in user mode.
• UW—User write permission. Allows stores and store-type cache management instructions to
access the page while in user mode.
