    Hi everybody!!

    I have a question on how get cache size on ARM v7-A, more specifically on A9 (or A7 or A15).

    In accordance with the TRM at page 1529 I get the value from CSSIDR register and I compute the cache size. More precisely, I do cache size = num…

    Hello,

    i was wondering if the voltage levels for dvfs states are fixed at the design time. For example for Cortex A7 or A15. Is this information available?

    Thank you.

    Cortex-A7 pipeline is non-symmetric, what does this attribute mean?

    My understand is that cortex-A7 pipeline's five entries does not have the same two, in the contrary, the cortex-A15 have the two entries are the same.
