2.2.3.3 Cache and Write Buffer
Enabling the MMU allows system memory control, but is also required if the Data Cache and
the Write Buffer are to be used. Features are enabled for specific memory regions, as defined
in the system page table. MMU enablement is done via CP15 register 1. The procedure is as
follows:
Cache configuration is 64-way set associative. There is a 16 kbyte instruction cache and a 16
kbyte data cache. The caches have the following characteristics:
1. Program the Translation Table Base (TTB) and domain access control registers
2. Create level 1 and level 2 pages for the system, and enable the Data Cache and the
3. Enable the MMU via bit 0 of CP15 register 1.
• 8 words per line, with 1 valid bit and 2 dirty bits per line to allow half-line write-backs
• Write-through or write-back capability, selectable per memory region defined by the
• Pseudo random or round robin replacement algorithms for cache misses. This is
• Independent cache lock-down with granularity of 1/64th of total cache size or 256 bytes

• The Write Buffer has a depth of 16 data words. If enabled, writes are sent to the Write

determined by the RR bit (bit 14) in CP15 register 1. On a cache miss (instruction or data
not in the respective cache), an 8-word line is fetched from memory and loaded into the
cache

operations without need of the MMU. This prevents a possible TLB miss that would

the cache is not enabled).
Instruction Cache (I-Cache) is enabled without the MMU enabled, all accesses are

contents must be flushed before re-enabling.
