The mini-data cache attribute bits, in the Auxiliary Control Register, are used to control the allocation policy for the mini-data cache and whether it will use write-back caching or write-through caching. The configuration of the mini-data cache should be setup before any data access is made that may be cached in the mini-data cache. Once data is cached, software must ensure that the mini-data cache has been cleaned and invalidated before the mini-data cache attributes can be changed.
