Abstract
A vector point of an exception handler related to TLB miss exception events is obtained by reading a vector base address of a register VBR one time, and by adding a vector offset (H'400) thereto. A vector point of an exception handler related to exception events other than the TLB miss exception events is obtained by adding a vector offset to a value (vector base address) of the register VBR, and an exception code which is an address offset obtained by reading a value of the register EXPEVT or INTEVT one time is added to the vector point that is obtained. Thus, the processing is branched to a required exception handler to execute the exception event processing related to exception events other than the TLB miss exception events.
