Intel 80200, Processor 4.3 Instruction Cache Control

4-6 March, 2003 Developer’s Manual

Intel® 80200 Processor based on Intel® XScale™ Microarchitecture

Instruction Cache

4.3 Instruction Cache Control

4.3.1 Instruction Cache State at RESET

After reset, the instruction cache is always disabled, unlocked, and invalidated (flushed).

4.3.2 Enabling/Disabling

The instruction cache is enabled by setting bit12 in coprocessor 15, register 1 (Control Register).

This process is illustrated in Example 4-2, Enabling the Instruction Cache.

Example 4-2. Enabling the Instruction Cac he

; Enable the ICache

MRC P15, 0, R0, C1, C0, 0 ; Get the control register

ORR R0, R0, #0x1000 ; set bit 12 -- the I bit

MCR P15, 0, R0, C1, C0, 0 ; Set the control register
