Address Space

Offset	Size	Description
0x0	0x20000	CMeP SRAM entire

Calling convention

• $1 = arg0
• $2 = arg1
• $3 = arg2
• $4 = arg3

Unmodified by callee: $5, $6, $7, $8.

Clobbered by callee: $9, $10, $11, $12.

Exception

When an exception occurs in CMeP, it jumps to address 0x40000 (or 0x800000) + excp_offset.

Below is the list corresponding to the exceptions (based version 3.xx).

Exception	Offset	BootROM	second_loader	secure_kernel
Reset	0x0	Jump to main function	Jump to main function	Jump to main function
NMI	0x4	infloop	no handler	no handler
RI	0x8	infloop	no handler	there handler
ZDIV	0xC	infloop	no handler	there handler
BRK	0x10	infloop	no handler	no handler
SWI	0x14	infloop	no handler	there handler
DBG	0x18	infloop	no handler	infloop
DSP	0x1C	infloop	no handler	no handler
COP	0x20	infloop	no handler	no handler
-	0x24	infloop	no handler	no handler
-	0x28	infloop	no handler	no handler
-	0x2C	infloop	no handler	no handler

There are also 32 interrupt vectors after the exception vector at offset 0x30.

Interrupt is all infloop in BootROM, Also all no handler in second_loader

Interrupt	Offset	Description
-	0x30	no handler
intr	0x34	setting on 0x100301. Runs at intr_index from global function slot in secure_kernel.
intr	0x38	setting on 0x100301. Runs at intr_index from global function slot in secure_kernel.
intr	0x3C	setting on 0x100301. Runs at intr_index from global function slot in secure_kernel.
intr	0x40	setting on 0x100301. Runs at intr_index from global function slot in secure_kernel.
intr	0x44	setting on 0x100301. Runs at intr_index from global function slot in secure_kernel.
intr	0x48	setting on 0x100301. Runs at intr_index from global function slot in secure_kernel.
-	0x4C	no handler
Arm2Cry (0xE0000010)	0x50	Fixed
Arm2Cry (0xE0000014)	0x54	Per secure modules
intr	0x58	setting on 0x100301. Runs at intr_index from global function slot in secure_kernel.
intr	0x5C	setting on 0x100301. Runs at intr_index from global function slot in secure_kernel.
-	0x60 ~ 0xAC	-
