Users manuals — These books provide details about individual ColdFire implementations and are
intended to be used in conjunction with the ColdFire Programmers Reference Manual.
Data sheets — Data sheets provide specific data regarding pin-out diagrams, 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 equivalent to the overview (Chapter 1) of an device’s reference manual.
Application notes — These short documents address specific design issues useful to programmers
and engineers working with Freescale Semiconductor processors.
Additional literature is published as new processors become available. For a current list of ColdFire
documentation, refer to http://www.freescale.com/coldfire.
Conventions
This document uses the following notational conventions:
MNEMONICS In text, instruction mnemonics are shown in uppercase.
mnemonics In code and tables, instruction mnemonics are shown in lowercase.
italics Italics indicate variable command parameters.
Book titles in text are set in italics.
0x0 Prefix to denote hexadecimal number
0b0 Prefix to denote binary number
REG[FIELD] Abbreviations for registers are shown in uppercase. Specific bits, fields, or ranges
appear in brackets. For example, RAMBAR[BA] identifies the base address field
in the RAM base address register.
nibble A 4-bit data unit
byte An 8-bit data unit
word A 16-bit data unit
1
longword A 32-bit data unit
x In some contexts, such as signal encodings, x indicates a don’t care.
n Used to express an undefined numerical value
~ NOT logical operator
& AND logical operator
| OR logical operator
1
The only exceptions to this appear in the discussion of serial communication modules that support variable-length data
transmission units. To simplify the discussion these units are referred to as words regardless of length.
