+SuperH Specific Information
+###########################
+
+This chapter discusses the SuperH architecture dependencies
+in this port of RTEMS. The SuperH family has a wide variety
+of implementations by a wide range of vendors. Consequently,
+there are many, many CPU models within it.
+
+**Architecture Documents**
+
+For information on the SuperH architecture,
+refer to the following documents available from VENDOR
+(:file:`http//www.XXX.com/`):
+
+- *SuperH Family Reference, VENDOR, PART NUMBER*.
+
+CPU Model Dependent Features
+============================
+
+This chapter presents the set of features which vary
+across SuperH implementations and are of importance to RTEMS.
+The set of CPU model feature macros are defined in the file``cpukit/score/cpu/sh/sh.h`` based upon the particular CPU
+model specified on the compilation command line.
+
+Another Optional Feature
+------------------------
+
+The macro XXX
+
+Calling Conventions
+===================
+
+Calling Mechanism
+-----------------
+
+All RTEMS directives are invoked using a ``XXX``
+instruction and return to the user application via the``XXX`` instruction.
+
+Register Usage
+--------------
+
+The SH1 has 16 general registers (r0..r15).
+
+- r0..r3 used as general volatile registers
+
+- r4..r7 used to pass up to 4 arguments to functions, arguments
+ above 4 are
+ passed via the stack)
+
+- r8..13 caller saved registers (i.e. push them to the stack if you
+ need them inside of a function)
+
+- r14 frame pointer
+
+- r15 stack pointer
+
+Parameter Passing
+-----------------

+
+Memory Model
+============
+
+Flat Memory Model
+-----------------
+
+The SuperH family supports a flat 32-bit address
+space with addresses ranging from 0x00000000 to 0xFFFFFFFF (4
+gigabytes). Each address is represented by a 32-bit value and
+is byte addressable. The address may be used to reference a
+single byte, word (2-bytes), or long word (4 bytes). Memory
+accesses within this address space are performed in big endian
+fashion by the processors in this family.
+
+Some of the SuperH family members support virtual memory and
+segmentation. RTEMS does not support virtual memory or
+segmentation on any of the SuperH family members. It is the
+responsibility of the BSP to initialize the mapping for
+a flat memory model.
+
+Interrupt Processing
+====================
+
+Although RTEMS hides many of the processor dependent
+details of interrupt processing, it is important to understand
+how the RTEMS interrupt manager is mapped onto the processor’s
+unique architecture. Discussed in this chapter are the MIPS’s
+interrupt response and control mechanisms as they pertain to
+RTEMS.
+
+Vectoring of an Interrupt Handler
+---------------------------------
+
+Upon receipt of an interrupt the XXX family
+members with separate interrupt stacks automatically perform the
+following actions:
+
+- TBD
+
+A nested interrupt is processed similarly by these
+CPU models with the exception that only a single ISF is placed
+on the interrupt stack and the current stack need not be
+switched.
+
+Interrupt Levels
+----------------
+
+TBD
+
+Default Fatal Error Processing
+==============================
+
+The default fatal error handler for this architecture disables processor
+interrupts, places the error code in *XXX*, and executes a ``XXX``
+instruction to simulate a halt processor instruction.
+
+Symmetric Multiprocessing
+=========================
+
+SMP is not supported.
+
+Thread-Local Storage
+====================
+
+Thread-local storage is not implemented.
+
+Board Support Packages
+======================
+
+System Reset
+------------
+
+An RTEMS based application is initiated or
+re-initiated when the processor is reset. When the
+processor is reset, it performs the following actions:
+
+- TBD
+
+Processor Initialization
