A

Cacheable memory: AAb = Inner policy

Normal

S bita

 

 

 

BBb = Outer policy

 

 

a.Region is Shareable if S == 1, and Non-shareable if S == 0.

b.Table 7-4shows the encoding for these bits.

7.3.1Cacheable memory policies

When TEX[2] == 1, the memory region is Cacheable memory, and the rest of the encoding defines the Inner and Outer cache policies:

TEX[1:0]

defines the Outer cache policy

C,B

defines the Inner cache policy

The same encoding is used for the Outer and Inner cache policies. Table 7-4shows the encoding.

Table 7-4 Inner and Outer cache policy encoding

Memory attribute encoding

Cache policy

 

 

00

Non-cacheable

 

 

01

Write-back, write-allocate

 

 

10

Write-through, no write-allocate

 

 

11

Write-back, no write-allocate

 

 

When the processor performs a memory access through its AXI bus master interface:

the Inner attributes are indicated on the A*USERM signals. For the encodings, see Table 9-3 on page 9-5

the Outer attributes are indicated on the and A*CACHEM signals. For the encodings, see Table 9-2 on page 9-5.

For more information on region attributes, see the ARM Architecture Reference Manual.
