In pttn[5:0] Design for Test Reset clears the HVAB_rows[2:0], GHB_rows[2:0], and TAG_rows[2:0] fields to b000. Reset initializes the BTB_rows[2:0] and DATA_rows[2:0] fields to b010. L1_ADDR_SCRAMBLE[183:0] Proper physical mapping prevents unintended pattern sequences that result in loss of test quality. This field defines the physical-to-logical address scramble settings for your implementation. See the Cortex-A8 Release Notes for information on how to program this for your design. L2 MBIST Instruction Register Figure 11-2 shows the fields of the L2 MBIST Instruction Register. dseed [3:0] rtfail bitmap L2_ram_sel[4:0] Figure 11-2 L2 MBIST Instruction Register bit assignments The pttn[5:0], rtfail, bitmap, and dseed[3:0] fields function the same as in the L1 MBIST Instruction Register. L2_ram_sel[4:0] Set bits in the L2_ram_sel[4:0] field to select the L2 RAMs for test as Table 11-6 shows. Setting an L2_ram_sel bit selects the corresponding RAM for test. The MBIST accesses the RAMs serially in the order shown in Table 11-6, except that the L2 tag RAM and L2 valid RAM are tested in parallel. You can set the L2ValSer bit to 1 to test these two RAMs serially. See L2ValSer on page 11-9. The reset value of the L2_ram_sel[4:0] field is b11111. L2_config[22:0] L2_config[22:0] L2AdLSB[3:0] L2ValSer L2Rows[11:0] L2TLat[1:0] L2DLat[3:0] The L2_config[22:0] field contains fields for selecting: • read and write latency of the L2 data array • read and write latency of the L2 tag array L2_ADDR_SCRAMBLE[289:0] Table 11-6 Selecting L2 RAMs for test with L2_ram_sel[4:0] Bit Selected RAM [0] L2 data RAM low order bits [64:0] [1] L2 data RAM high order bits [129:65] [2] L2 parity RAM [3] L2 tag RAM [4] L2 valid RAM ARM DDI 0344K Copyright © 2006-2010 ARM Limited.

• number of rows of the L2 data, parity, tag and valid physical RAM • testing of valid RAM separately or in parallel with tag RAM testing • column address LSB sequencing of 00, 01, 10, 11 or 00, 01, 11, 10. Table 11-7 shows the bit fields of L2_config[22:0]. L2DLat[3:0] Design for Test Table 11-7 L2_config[22:0] L2_config bit field Field name L2_config[22:19] L2DLat[3:0] L2_config[18:17] L2TLat[1:0] L2_config[16:5] L2Rows[11:0] L2_config[4] L2ValSer L2_config[3:0] L2AdLSB[3:0] Use the L2DLat[3:0] field to select the read and write latency of the L2 data array as Table 11-8 shows. The reset value of the L2DLat[3:0] field is b1111. Table 11-8 Selecting L2 data array latency with L2DLat[3:0] L2DLat[3:0] Wait states b0000 2 b0001 2 b0010 3 b0011 4 b0100 5 b0101 6 b0110 7 b0111 8 b1000 9 b1001 10 b1010 11 b1011 12 b1100 13 b1101 14 b1110 15 b1111 16 ARM DDI 0344K Copyright © 2006-2010 ARM Limited.
