Rob Herring8c369262011-08-03 18:12:05 +01001* ARM L2 Cache Controller
2
3ARM cores often have a separate level 2 cache controller. There are various
4implementations of the L2 cache controller with compatible programming models.
5The ARM L2 cache representation in the device tree should be done as follows:
6
7Required properties:
8
9- compatible : should be one of:
Sebastian Hesselbarthe68f31f2013-12-13 16:42:19 +010010 "arm,pl310-cache"
11 "arm,l220-cache"
12 "arm,l210-cache"
13 "bcm,bcm11351-a2-pl310-cache": DEPRECATED by "brcm,bcm11351-a2-pl310-cache"
14 "brcm,bcm11351-a2-pl310-cache": For Broadcom bcm11351 chipset where an
15 offset needs to be added to the address before passing down to the L2
16 cache controller
17 "marvell,aurora-system-cache": Marvell Controller designed to be
Gregory CLEMENT3ee11ae2012-09-26 18:02:50 +020018 compatible with the ARM one, with system cache mode (meaning
19 maintenance operations on L1 are broadcasted to the L2 and L2
20 performs the same operation).
Sebastian Hesselbarthe68f31f2013-12-13 16:42:19 +010021 "marvell,aurora-outer-cache": Marvell Controller designed to be
22 compatible with the ARM one with outer cache mode.
23 "marvell,tauros3-cache": Marvell Tauros3 cache controller, compatible
24 with arm,pl310-cache controller.
Rob Herring8c369262011-08-03 18:12:05 +010025- cache-unified : Specifies the cache is a unified cache.
26- cache-level : Should be set to 2 for a level 2 cache.
27- reg : Physical base address and size of cache controller's memory mapped
28 registers.
29
30Optional properties:
31
32- arm,data-latency : Cycles of latency for Data RAM accesses. Specifies 3 cells of
33 read, write and setup latencies. Minimum valid values are 1. Controllers
34 without setup latency control should use a value of 0.
35- arm,tag-latency : Cycles of latency for Tag RAM accesses. Specifies 3 cells of
36 read, write and setup latencies. Controllers without setup latency control
37 should use 0. Controllers without separate read and write Tag RAM latency
38 values should only use the first cell.
39- arm,dirty-latency : Cycles of latency for Dirty RAMs. This is a single cell.
40- arm,filter-ranges : <start length> Starting address and length of window to
41 filter. Addresses in the filter window are directed to the M1 port. Other
42 addresses will go to the M0 port.
Mark Rutland8d4e6522011-08-17 18:03:17 +010043- interrupts : 1 combined interrupt.
Gregory CLEMENT3ee11ae2012-09-26 18:02:50 +020044- cache-id-part: cache id part number to be used if it is not present
45 on hardware
46- wt-override: If present then L2 is forced to Write through mode
