FSBL and U-Boot SPL running from the same location. L2 cache is of 2 MB (16 cache ways) and 1 cache way is of 128 KB. At runtime, FSBL is located on the latest way of L2 cache. Therefore, FSBL can only enable the first 15 L2 cache ways to avoid corrupt itself. (Way 0 is enabled by default) https://github.com/sifive/freedom-u540-c000-bootloader/blob/master/fsbl/main.c#L428 U-Boot SPL is bigger than FSBL so can not fit in 1 cache way, so I decided to enable all cache ways from U-Boot proper. > >> @Jagan Teki Sorry for my misunderstanding, U-Boot SPL got stuck in my >mind. >> > >Regards, >Bin
