On-Chip Memory Control Register (RAMCR)
RAMCR controls the number of ways in the IC and OC.
RAMCR modifications must only be made by a program in the non-cacheable P2 area. After
RAMCR has been updated, execute one of the following three methods before an access
(including an instruction fetch) to the cacheable area or the L memory area is performed.
1. Execute a branch using the RTE instruction. In this case, the branch destination may be the
non-cacheable area or the L memory area.
2. Execute the ICBI instruction for any address (including non-cacheable area).
3. If the R2 bit in IRMCR is 0 (initial value) before updating RAMCR, the specific instruction
does not need to be executed. However, note that the CPU processing performance will be
lowered because the instruction fetch is performed again for the next instruction after RAMCR
has been updated.
Note that the method 3 may not be guaranteed in the future SuperH Series. Therefore, it is
recommended that the method 1 or 2 should be used for being compatible with the future SuperH
Series.
