Note
You can only access the cache RAMs using 32-bit or 64-bit AXI transfers. Using an 8-bit or a
16-bit transfer size generates a SLVERR error response.
Data RAM access
The following tables shows the data formats for cache data RAM accesses:
• Table9-32 shows the format when neither parity nor ECC is implemented
• Table9-33 on page 9-28 shows the format when parity is implemented
• Table9-34 on page 9-28 shows the instruction cache format when ECC is implemented
• Table9-35 on page 9-28 shows the data cache format when ECC is implemented.
