Instruction Cache

Overview

MicroBlaze may be used with an optional instruction cache for improved performance when executing code that resides outside the LMB address range.

The instruction cache has the following features:

•Direct mapped (1-way associative)

•User selectable cacheable memory address range

•Conﬁgurable cache and tag size

•Caching over CacheLink (XCL) interface

•Option to use 4 or 8 word cache-line

•Cache on and off controlled using a bit in the MSR

•Optional WIC instruction to invalidate instruction cache lines

General Instruction Cache Functionality

When the instruction cache is used, the memory address space in split into two segments: a cacheable segment and a non-cacheable segment. The cacheable segment is determined by two parameters: C_ICACHE_BASEADDR and C_ICACHE_HIGHADDR. All addresses within this range correspond to the cacheable address segment. All other addresses are non-cacheable.

Figure 1-9:Instruction Cache Organization

The cacheable instruction address consists of two parts: the cache address, and the tag address. The MicroBlaze instruction cache can be conﬁgured from 2kB to 64 kB. This corresponds to a cache address of between 11 and 16 bits. The tag address together with the cache address should match the full address of cacheable memory.
