II_NS
Instruction Pipeline (IP) Empty Mode.
0: IM Interface may make requests to Instruction Memory (IM) when the IP is not empty.
(Default)
1: IM Interface only makes requests to IM after the IP is empty.
Note:
Enabling this mode reduces performance.
27:25
RSVD
Reserved.
24
CC_SER
COF Cache Serialization.
0: Allow more than one outstanding request in COF cache. (Default)
1: Allow only one request in the COF cache.
Note:
Enabling COF cache serialization may reduce performance.
23:21
RSVD
Reserved.
20
RQ_SER
Request Queue Serialization.
0: Allow more than one request in the Request Queue. (Default)
1: Only one request is allowed in the Request Queue.
Note:
Enabling RQ serialization reduces performance.
19:17
RSVD
Reserved.
16
II_SER
Instruction Memory Request Serialization.
0: IM requests are not serialized. (Default)
1: IM Interface waits until IM responds to a request before IM Interface issues the next
request.
Note:
Enabling IM Interface serialization reduces performance.
15
RSVD
Reserved.
14
II_IMFLSH
Instruction Memory Flush.
0: IF never issues flush requests to IM.
1: IF may issue flush requests to IM. (Default)
Note:
Enabling IM flushing usually increases performance.
13
RSVD
Reserved.
12
CC_L0
Level-0 COF Cache.
0: Disable.
1: Enable. (Default)
Note:
Enabling the L0 COF cache increases performance. Unless CC_L1 is enabled
(bit 0 = 1), then CC_L0 has no effect.
11
RSVD
Reserved.
10
DMM_DIS
Debug Management Mode (DMM).
0: The COF cache and return stack is neither used nor updated during DMM. (Default)
1: The COF cache and return stack may be used and updated during DMM.
Note:
Disabling the COF cache and return stack during DMM may reduce performance
but make debug easier.
9
RSVD
Reserved.
8
CC_PS
Power Saving Mode.
0: Disable. (Default)
1: Enable.
Note:
CC_L1 must be disabled (bit 0 = 0) to enable power saving.
