Hi ,
  I am working on arm from past few momths.I have one question that in ARM why unalligned address operation will give data abort ?and  is this thing will be happened for any special case ?Pleae help me to know actually when and why it will be happened. I came across thorugh some sites but still not get a clear picture.

Second thing if a value is not found then MMU misses the caches but how will i know the misses happened.?


I am looking forward to you .

Thanks

    Since ARMv6 (ARM11) unaligned transactions are support if the CPU is configured correctly, at least for non-multiple load/stores.

    Unaligned transactions are naturally hard for the hardware, as they potentially require a single word/half-word load/store being converted into multiple bus transactions

    Second thing if a value is not found then MMU misses the caches but how will i know the misses


    I'm not sure what the question here is.
