To access the TCM Type Register, read CP15 with:
MRC p15, 0, <Rd>, c0, c0, 2 ; Returns TCM type register
Note
• The ATCM and BTCM fields in the TCM Type Register occupy the same space as the
ITCM and DTCM fields as defined by the ARM Architecture. These fields, and the
corresponding TCM interfaces, can be considered equivalent to those defined in the
Architecture.
• The ARM Architecture requires only the ITCM to be accessible from both instruction and
data sides. In the Cortex-R4 processor, both ATCM and BTCM are accessible from both
instruction and data sides.
4.2.5 c0, MPU Type Register
The MPU Type Register holds the value for the number of instruction and data memory regions
implemented in the processor.
The MPU Type Register is:
• read-only register
• accessible in Privileged mode only.
Figure 4-10 shows the arrangement of bits in the register.
Figure 4-10 MPU Type Register format
Table 4-6 shows how the bit values correspond with the MPU Type Register functions.
To access the MPU Type Register, read CP15 with:
[18:16] BTCM Specifies the number of BTCMs implemented. This is always set to
b001
because the processor
has one BTCM.
[15:3] Reserved SBZ.
[2:0] ATCM Specifies the number of ATCMs implemented. Always set to b001. The processor has one ATCM.
