10.5.1. Functional Description

The L2 cache is much larger than the L1 cache. The L2 cache has significantly lower latency than external memory. The L2 cache is up to eight‑way associative, configurable down to one‑way (direct mapped). Like the L1 cache, the L2 cache can be locked by cache line, locked by way, or locked by master (CPU and ACP masters).

The L2 cache implements error correction codes (ECCs) and ECC error reporting. The cache can report a number of events to the processor and operating system.
