@ -111,8 +111,14 @@ Before jumping into the kernel, the following conditions must be met:
- Caches, MMUs
The MMU must be off.
Instruction cache may be on or off.
Data cache must be off and invalidated.
External caches (if present) must be configured and disabled.
The address range corresponding to the loaded kernel image must be
cleaned to the PoC. In the presence of a system cache or other
coherent masters with caches enabled, this will typically require
cache maintenance by VA rather than set/way operations.
System caches which respect the architected cache maintenance by VA
operations must be configured and may be enabled.
System caches which do not respect architected cache maintenance by VA
operations (not recommended) must be configured and disabled.
- Architected timers
CNTFRQ must be programmed with the timer frequency and CNTVOFF must
