Hi,
in the manual of my TriCore TC1796 processor I see that by default the instruction cache is disabled. The manual says that the bit 1 of the PMI Control Register "PMI_CON0" must be set to 1. I have no idea how to set it. Can you give me any hints.
Regards, Tim
Not familiar with that CPU and you do not mention language / environment / OS, but could be something as simple as this:
(in C, assuming PMI_CON0 is a 16 bit register located at a reachable physical address)
#define PMI_CON0 [address of PMI_CON0] #define ENABLE_INS_CACHE 0x0002
void enable_instruction_cache() { volatile uint16_t *pmi_con0p = (uint16_t *)PMI_CON0; *pmi_com0p |= ENABLE_INS_CACHE; }
If you are trying to do it from an application level program running on a system with virtual memory, you will have to map the PMI_CON0 register to your application virtual address space first. How to do that depends on what operating system you are using.
