4.3.12.3. Cache Memory
The Nios® V/g processor architecture supports cache memories on both the instruction manager port (instruction cache) and the data manager port (data cache). The cache memories can improve the average memory access time for Nios® V/g processor systems that use slow off-chip memory such as SDRAM for program and data storage.
The processor core connects the caches through a 32-bit AXI-4 interface, thus bursting is enabled. The instruction and data caches are always enabled at run-time, but software can bypass the data cache so that peripheral accesses do not return cached data. Software handles cache management and cache coherency. The Nios® V/g instruction set provides instructions for cache management.
