Hi,

I am using TWR-VF65GS10, I want to check whether L2 cache is enabled or not,

I found BT_MMU_DISABLE and L2_CACHE_DISABLE in reference manual, but I don't actually know how and where to use it.

And I also want to check whether TCM is enabled or not, how can I do that?

Thanks,

To check whether you have L2 cache, see the digit before N letter in part number. 1N indicates that you have L2 cache and no RAM, 0N indicates that no L2 cache but 0.5MB RAM. It seems by default MMU, L1 Data and L2 caches of the Cortex-A5 core are enabled by boot loader.

Refer this thread for Enable/Disable L2 cache using register. https://community.nxp.com/thread/330937.

TCM is standard SRAM memory which is connected directly to Cortex-M4 via local memory
controller.I believe this is seleted by default.

Hi,

In order to enable the M4 core in code please follow this steps.

1) SRC->GPR[2] = <start address> + 1; //since M4 is thumb

2) CCM->CCOWR = 0x15a5a; //Start secondary core

To know more about starting the M4 core please follow this thread.
