Cortex-R5 r1p2: Data/Instruction Cache - Configuration during startup, run-time? Specific considerations using RTOS, DMA?

Hello,

On an exising project based on Cortex-R5, with a limited ATCM/BTCM resources, we need to start using Data/Instruction Cache with DDR (DRAM), to improve performance.

There is a lot scattered info in ARM documentation about caches - can you point me to some Refrence Code for:

1. Data/instruction Cache configuration during startup?

2. Data/instruction Cache configuration during run-time?

WRT Specific considerations using Data/Instruction Cache- can you point me to some documentation & Reference Code for:

3. Guidelines  & Reference Code for CODE that one should keep in ATCM (typically holds interrupt or exception code that must be accessed at high speed,
without any potential delay resulting from a cache miss), while using Data/Instruction Cache, and interactions with code/data in Instruction/Data Cache?

4. Guidelines  & Reference Code for DATA that one should keep in BTCM (typically holds any block of data for intensive processing, such as audio or video
processing), while using Data/Instruction Cache, and interactions with data/code in Data/Instruction Cache?

5. Guidelines & Reference Code for CODE/DATA in Data/Instruction Cache, when RTOS is involved?

6. Guidelines & Reference Code for CODE/DATA in Data/Instruction Cache, when DMA is involved?

Thank-you
