EC, [31:26]
Exception Class. Indicates the reason for the exception that this register holds information
about.
IL, [25]
Instruction Length for synchronous exceptions. The possible values are:
0
16-bit.
1
32-bit.
This field is 1 for the SError interrupt, instruction aborts, misaligned PC, Stack pointer
misalignment, data aborts for which the ISV bit is 0, exceptions caused by an illegal instruction
set state, and exceptions using the
0x00
Exception Class.
ISS Valid, [24]
Syndrome valid. The possible values are:
0
ISS not valid, ISS is
RES0
.
1
ISS valid.
ISS, [23:0]
Syndrome information.
When the EC field is
0x2F
, indicating an SError interrupt has occurred, the ISS field contents are
