# 68030/040 on the Amiga (A3000/A4000)
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The A3000 ships with a **Motorola 68030** at 16 or 25 MHz. The A4000 ships with either a 68030 or **68040** at 25 MHz. Later accelerator cards bring the 68060. This document covers CPU-specific concerns for AmigaOS 3.1/3.2 on these platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
## 68030 (A3000)
|
||||
|
||||
### On-Chip Caches
|
||||
- **Instruction cache**: 256 bytes, direct-mapped
|
||||
- **Data cache**: 256 bytes, direct-mapped
|
||||
- Both enabled by default on AmigaOS 3.1 (`CacheControl()` call)
|
||||
|
||||
### On-Chip PMMU
|
||||
- Full 68030 PMMU: ATC (Address Translation Cache), TT registers
|
||||
- AmigaOS does **not** use the MMU by default on A3000
|
||||
- Third-party tools (e.g., VMM, mmu.library) use it for virtual memory
|
||||
|
||||
### Cache Control (exec)
|
||||
```c
|
||||
#include <proto/exec.h>
|
||||
|
||||
/* Enable instruction and data caches */
|
||||
CacheControl(CACRF_EnableI | CACRF_EnableD, CACRF_EnableI | CACRF_EnableD);
|
||||
|
||||
/* Flush caches (required before self-modifying code) */
|
||||
CacheClearU(); /* clear all caches */
|
||||
CacheClearE(addr, len, CACRF_ClearI | CACRF_ClearD); /* targeted flush */
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Cache Coherency with DMA
|
||||
The 68030 data cache is **not snooped** by the Amiga chip bus. If the CPU writes to a buffer that the DMA engine (Blitter, audio, custom chips) will read, the cache must be flushed first:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
/* Before handing a buffer to DMA: */
|
||||
CacheClearE(buf, size, CACRF_ClearD);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, after DMA writes to a buffer that the CPU will read:
|
||||
```c
|
||||
CacheClearE(buf, size, CACRF_ClearD);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is a common source of bugs in audio/video programming on 68030+ Amigas.
|
||||

|
||||
## 68040 (A4000 / Accelerators)
|
||||
|
||||
### On-Chip FPU — Partial Implementation
|
||||
The 68040 has an on-chip FPU but omits many instructions present in the 68881/68882:
|
||||
|
||||
**Missing from 68040 FPU:**
|
||||
- `FSIN`, `FCOS`, `FTAN`, `FASIN`, `FACOS`, `FATAN`
|
||||
- `FETOX`, `FETOXM1`, `FLOGN`, `FLOG10`
|
||||
- `FSINH`, `FCOSH`, `FTANH`
|
||||
- `FATANH`, `FASINH`, `FACOSH`
|
||||
- `FSCALE`, `FREMX`, `FREMX`, `FINTRZ`
|
||||
|
||||
AmigaOS provides `68040.library` which installs Line-F exception handlers to emulate the missing instructions in software.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
/* 68040.library is opened automatically by exec at boot */
|
||||
/* Software should check that it is open before using FP */
|
||||
struct Library *MathLib = OpenLibrary("68040.library", 0);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> [!WARNING]
|
||||
> If `68040.library` is not installed and software uses a missing 68040 FPU instruction, the system will crash with a Line-F exception. Always ensure `68040.library` is present on A4000.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4 KB Instruction + Data Caches
|
||||
- 68040 has **4 KB instruction cache** and **4 KB data cache**, both 4-way set-associative
|
||||
- Cache coherency is more complex: DMA writes may not be visible to the CPU without invalidation
|
||||
- `CacheClearE()` / `CacheClearU()` remain the correct API
|
||||
|
||||
### 68040 Memory Model
|
||||
```
|
||||
CACR (Cache Control Register) accessed via MOVEC:
|
||||
bit 15: EDC — enable data cache
|
||||
bit 14: NAD — no allocate data (streaming mode)
|
||||
bit 13: ESB — enable store buffer
|
||||
bit 10: DPI — disable push-inhibit
|
||||
bit 7: EIC — enable instruction cache
|
||||
bit 3: CINV — cache invalidate
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Bus Error Stack Frame (68040)
|
||||
The 68040 generates a **different bus error stack frame** from the 68000:
|
||||
- 68000: 14-byte frame
|
||||
- 68040: 104-byte frame with pipeline state
|
||||
|
||||
This matters for exception handlers and debuggers targeting both platforms.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 68060 (Accelerator Cards)
|
||||
|
||||
Available via Blizzard 060, CyberStorm 060, etc. Key differences:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Superscalar**: two integer pipelines (in-order, no OOO)
|
||||
- **Branch prediction**: static and dynamic
|
||||
- **No MOVE16 snooping** on some Amiga implementations
|
||||
- On-chip FPU: missing same transcendentals as 68040 → needs `68060.library`
|
||||
- Separate `68060.library` for the additional missing instructions vs 68040
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
struct Library *Lib060 = OpenLibrary("68060.library", 0);
|
||||
```
|
||||

|

|
||||
## AmigaOS exec CacheControl() API
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
#include <exec/execbase.h>
|
||||
#include <proto/exec.h>
|
||||
|
||||
/* SysBase->CacheFlags reflect current cache state */
|
||||
ULONG flags = CacheControl(0, 0); /* query without changing */
|
||||
|
||||
/* Flag bits: */
|
||||
#define CACRF_EnableD (1L<<3) /* data cache enable */
|
||||
#define CACRF_FreezeD (1L<<4) /* data cache freeze */
|
||||
#define CACRF_ClearD (1L<<5) /* clear data cache */
|
||||
#define CACRF_EnableI (1L<<8) /* instruction cache enable */
|
||||
#define CACRF_FreezeI (1L<<9) /* instruction cache freeze */
|
||||
#define CACRF_ClearI (1L<<10) /* clear instruction cache */
|
||||
#define CACRF_CopyBack (1L<<31) /* data cache write-back mode */
|
||||
```
