-The MC683xx models, on the other hand, are more specialized and have a

Calling Conventions
===================
-The MC68xxx architecture supports a simple yet effective call and
-return mechanism. A subroutine is invoked via the branch to subroutine
-(``bsr``) or the jump to subroutine (``jsr``) instructions.
-These instructions push the return address on the current stack.
-The return from subroutine (``rts``) instruction pops the return
-address off the current stack and transfers control to that instruction.
-It is is important to note that the MC68xxx call and return mechanism does
-not automatically save or restore any registers. It is the responsibility
-of the high-level language compiler to define the register preservation
-and usage convention.

Register Usage

-RTEMS directives therefore, the contents of these registers should not

Memory Model
============
-The MC68xxx family supports a flat 32-bit address

-gigabytes). Each address is represented by a 32-bit value and
-is byte addressable. The address may be used to reference a

-Some of the MC68xxx family members such as the
-MC68020, MC68030, and MC68040 support virtual memory and
