B.1.5 Memory Protection
The ability to inhibit writes to physical memory was added. The sixteen 64 KB physical
memory blocks can be individually protected, and two of those blocks can additionally be
subdivided and protected at a granularity of 4 KB. When a write is attempted, a new
Priority 3 write-protection interrupt request is generated.
The write-protection can be enabled for the User mode only or for all modes (see
Appendix C for more information).
Figure B-1. Sample Memory Protection Layout
The new memory-protection registers are listed in Table B-6 through Table B-11.
