LX2160a: Spinlock with cores in other clusters?

[bastian_schick]

I am trying do make a spinlock using LDREX/STREX. But it seems STREX on CPUs in other cluster does not go through.

Do I have to setup CCN-508 for this?

The spinlock is initialized by core0.0 and core1.0 (cluster 1, core0) can read the initial value, but storeing does not work?!

This information is information for core of the LX2160. This information is available on ARM web.

See the following:

Have a great day,

I am not asking where I can find information about the CCN-508. I am really able to use a web search. I am asking specifically for the LX2160a. Please read questions completely before answering nonsense. What does a code-compare of a ARM disassembly function have to do with my question?
