ARM协处理器CP15设置MMU,cache等学习

时间:11-20 来源:互联网 点击:
一直对协处理器CP15很恐惧,因为在网上基本上找不到中文的详细说明,现在找了一些ARM官方文档(ARM920T Technical Reference Manual)来看,准备对它做个了结。

协处理器CP15包含了如下寄存器。

========================================================================

在ARM920T Technical Reference Manual中有如下关键术语

2.3.1 Addresses in ARM920T
Three distinct types of address exist in an ARM920T system:
• Virtual Address (VA)
• Modified Virtual Address (MVA)
• Physical Address (PA).
Below is an example of the address manipulation when the ARM9TDMI core requests
an instruction (see Figure 2-10 on page 2-25).
1. The Instruction VA (IVA) is issued by the ARM9TDMI core.
2. This is translated by the ProcID to the Instruction MVA (IMVA). It is the IMVA
that the Instruction Cache (ICache) and MMU see.
3. If the protection check carried out by the IMMU on the IMVA does not abort, and
the IMVA tag is in the ICache, the instruction data is returned to the ARM9TDMI
core.
4. If the ICache misses (the IMVA tag is not in the ICache), then the IMMU
performs a translation to produce the Instruction PA (IPA). This address is given
to the AMBA bus interface to perform an external access.

2.3.2 Accessing CP15 registers访问CP15 寄存器
The terms and abbreviations(缩写词) shown in Table 2-4 are used throughout this section.
Table 2-4 CP15 abbreviations
Term Abbreviation Description
UnpredictableUNP

For reads, the data returned when reading from this location is unpredictable. It can
have any value.
For writes, writing to this location causes unpredictable behavior, or an unpredictable
change in device configuration.
Should be zeroSBZ

When writing to this location, all bits of this field should be 0.

————————————————————————————————————————

You can only access CP15 registers with MRC and MCR instructions in aprivileged mode.(特权模式)

MCR/MRC{cond} P15,opcode_1,Rd,CRn,CRm,opcode_2

————

Instructions CDP, LDC, and STC, together with unprivileged MRC and MCR instructions to CP15, cause the undefined instruction trap to be taken(导致未定义...).The CRn field of MRC and MCR instructions specifies the coprocessor register to access.The CRm field and opcode_2 fields specify a particular action when addressing registers. The L bit distinguishes between an MRC (L=1) and an MCR (L=0).——指明了CRn 和CRm 的作用。

Note
Attempting to read from a nonreadable register, or to write to a nonwritable register causes unpredictable results.
Theopcode_1, opcode_2, and CRmfields should be zero, except when the values specified are used to select the desired operations, in all instructions that access CP15. Using other values results in unpredictable behavior.

Register 0, ID code register(读芯片32位ID)
This is a read-only register that returns a 32-bit device ID code.
You can access the ID code registerby reading CP15 register 0 with the opcode_2 field set to any value other than 1 (the CRm field should be zero when reading).For example:
