3.3.4 Bus Interface Unit (BIU)
The BIU encompasses control and data signals supporting instruction and data transfers. A data bus width 
of 64-bits is implemented. The memory interface supports read and write transfers of 8, 16, 24, 32, and 64 
bits, supports burst transfers of four doublewords, and operates in a pipelined fashion.
Single-beat transfers are supported for cache-inhibited read and write cycles, and write-buffer writes. Burst 
transfers of four doublewords are supported for cache linefill and copyback operations. 
3.3.5 Timer Facilities
The core provides a set of registers to provide fixed interval timing and watchdog functions for the system. 
All of these must be initialized during start-up. The registers associated with fixed interval timer and 
watchdog functions are the following:
• Timer control register (TCR)—provides control of the timer and watchdog facilities.
• Timer status register (TSR)—provides status of the timer facilities.
• Time base registers (TBU and TBL)—two 32-bit registers (upper and lower) that are concatenated 
to provide a long-period, 64-bit counter.

CE, ME, EE, DE are in the MSR. DIE, FIE, and WIE are in the TCR. “src” signifies the individual enable for each INTC source. 
The debug interrupt, IVOR 15, also requires EDM = 0 (EDM and IDM are in the DBCR0 register).
