What's the size of the cache line of i.MX6 quad Processor

What's the size of the L2 cache line of i.MX6 quad Processor?  I'm using an i.MX 6Quad SabreD board, and I have to know its size of L2 cache line.

I know most ARM CPUs use 64B cache line, but I see from some website that  the cache line is 32B on i.mx6q. Which is right? Thanks.

Below is the link of my board:

Dear  igor,

Thanks for your reply. From the PL310 cache controller manual, I see that the cache line is 32B.

• Fixed line length of 32 bytes (eight words or 256 bits).

Hi Zhao

i.MX6Q L2 cache controller is described in sect.12.3.3 PL310 L2 Cache configuration

i.MX 6Dual/6Quad Applications Processor Reference Manual

and its characteristics can be found in PL310 Cache Controller Technical Reference Manual
