Exception Causes (EXCCAUSE)

Common exceptions seen on the ESP8266

EXCCAUSE Code Cause Name Cause Description Required Option2 EXCVADDR Loaded
0 IllegalInstructionCause Illegal instruction Exception No
2 InstructionFetchErrorCause Processor internal physical address or data error during instruction fetch Exception Yes
3 LoadStoreErrorCause Processor internal physical address or data error during load or store Exception Yes
4 Level1InterruptCause Level-1 interrupt as indicated by set level-1 bits in the INTERRUPT register Interrupt No
61 IntegerDivideByZeroCause QUOS, QUOU, REMS, or REMU divisor operand is zero 32-bit Integer Divide No
9 LoadStoreAlignmentCause Load or store to an unaligned address Unaligned Exception Yes
20 InstFetchProhibitedCause An instruction fetch referenced a page mapped with an attribute that does not permit instruction fetch Region Protection or MMU Yes
28 LoadProhibitedCause A load referenced a page mapped with an attribute that does not permit loads Region Protection or MMU Yes
29 StoreProhibitedCause A store referenced a page mapped with an attribute that does not permit Region Protection or MMU Yes

1 No hardware support for this exception; however, the software-detected event is reported as "exccause 6" at Postmortem. After reboot, ESP.getResetInfo() will report the event as "exccause 0".

2 Identifies Xtensa config option for the silicon. The question that needs answering is which of these was included in the ESP8266 silicon?
