This PR updates all the entire cache system of the processor. With this PR in place, we now have a total of 4 different caches (instances of
neorv32_cache.vhd
) organized in two levels:Enabling all caches at the same time makes no sense. You should therefore either only activate the L2 caches or only the L1 caches. For configurations that mainly use the processor's internal memory, only the L2 caches should be used.
There is an ongoing discussion (#793) as to whether we should remove the L1 caches (i-cache & d-cache) completely. I am curious to hear what you think about this. 😉
Important
As the i-cache now also uses the generic cache module (which is direct-mapped) the
ICACHE_ASSOCIATIVITY
generic is removed. Furthermore, the cache-specificneorv32_icache.vhd
andneorv32_dcache.vhd
rtl files are removed.
