Thanks.

We have to run program as normal memory and IO range as device memory?
What about set the RO/RW/IO range as uncacheable memroy?
What about close MMU to run the el3 firmware?

Hi,

IO memory needs to be uncached but Device memory is always uncached so that is cool.

Instructions must be in Normal memory, which can be cached or uncached.

@EL3 with the MMU off *all* data accesses will be to Device memory and *all* instruction fetches will be to Normal memory. The address range doesn't matter.
