what is the purpose of the mmu_map_l1_range(...) call in imx6 SDK?

[EdSutter]

In the platform_init() function of the imx6 platform SDK, there is a call to:

mmu_map_l1_range(0x20000000, 0x20000000, 0x30000000, kNoncacheable, kShareable, kRWAccess);

for the SABRE SDB board.

What is this for?

We are sorry for getting back to you so late. For some reason that the answer was not put in right place. I paste it here. Hopefully it is useful.

Is likely reserving the MMU L1 cache memory region parameters Non cacheable, sherable and RW access are typicall properties for a region memory that in this case MMU can access.
