2.2. Event Handling

Events indirect through instructions in the first 256 (0x100) words of instruction memory. In general these should be 32-bit branch instructions, which means event handlers should reside in first or last 221 words of instruction memory.

At present the following event vector locations (word addresses) are defined

0x00

Power-on reset.

0x02

Bus error

The event handling mechanism is still in development. In particular no location is yet defined for the return address to be used by the RTE instruction (see Section 3.7.1).
