cleaned. Ctype encoding is shown below; all unused values are reserved.

 

Value: 0b1110

 

Method: Writeback

 

Cache cleaning: Register 7 operations (see “R7:Cache Operations register” on page 94)

 

Cache lockdown: Format C (see “R9: Cache Lockdown register” on page 98)

 

 

S bit

Specifies whether the cache is a unified cache (S=0) or separate ICache and DCache (S=1).

 

Will always report separate ICache and DCache for this processor.

 

 

Dsize

Specifies the size, line length, and associativity of the DCache.

 

 

Isize

Species the size, length and associativity of the ICache.
