The PROT[1:0] bus encodes information about the transfer. A memory management unit uses this signal to determine whether an access is from a privileged mode, and whether it is an opcode or a data fetch. This can therefore be used to implement an access permission scheme. The encoding of PROT[1:0] is shown in Table 3.4.
