CCS/TMS320F28379D: CLA

Part Number: TMS320F28379D

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

hello

I would like to know if cache memory is enabled in F28379D controller. how it is used between CPU1 and its CLA.

1. Does CLA use Cache memory ?

2. is cache memory partitioned between CPU1 and its CLA when executing ?

thanks,

Nagesh

  • Nagesh,

    There is no cache memory. CLA have access to LSx RAM which is shared with CPU as well. User can configure to make LSxRAM accessible from CLA only.

  • Hi Vivek, 

    Thank you for your response.

    I want to make my understanding more clearer

    I came across section 13.1 Introduction to Flash and OTP Memory :

    " how to improve flash performance by enabling the flash prefetch/cache mode ".

    this cache mode is used only when data is fetch from FLASH .

    also CLA cannot use cache and will be used only to communicate to CPU1 using the message RAM. also i would like to know that CLA cannot access FLASH.

    thanks
