PMON Vector Table
		PMON Vector Table

The vector table allows a client program to access a number of
target-dependent services provided by the PROM Monitor. The linkage
mechanism for all these services is to jump to an address obtained from
the vector table. For example,

		li	t0,TBLBASE
		lw	t0,OFFSET(t0)
		j	t0

Where TBLBASE is 0xa0c00200 for the ATMizer-I, and
0xbfc00200 for all other processors. OFFSET is obtained from 
the table below.

The following table shows the services that are
provided, the arguments that are passed to each service function, and
the table offset for each service. The declaration for vector table itself 
is located
in the file pmon/mips.s. Normally an
application establishes a connection to these services by linking
in the file lib/crt1.s. This routine
is automatically linked with your application when you use the
pmcc command.
