Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH 0/5] dcache support for Raspberry Pi 1
Date: Sat, 4 Jul 2015 11:48:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1436003324-8769-1-git-send-email-alexanders83@web.de> (raw)
This patchset enables dcache support for Raspberry Pi 1.
First the cache support code was made similar to existing arm1136 code.
The invalidate and flush functions were inprovoed to accept also non-cacheline
aligned addresses. This reduces the cacheline size knowledge from generic
code.
Then rpi mailbox code has now dcache flush for writing the mailbox request and
a dcache invalidation for receiving the mailbox answer.
Finally the CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF switch got removed from rpi config.
dcache supprt increases the MMC read performance on RPI 1 from 5,4 MiB/s to
12.3 MiB/s. It doesn't seem to have any affect on RPI 2 though. I just get
error messages about non-cacheline aligned address upon invalidation.
The performance stucks at 1.2 MiB/s.
This was tested by the following command:
> fatload mmc 0:1 ${kernel_addr_r} zImage
