Does the icache (of the rocket core) read the instructions through the crossbar network in rocketchip?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
I am working on removing the crossbar network in rocketchip. But I don't know what the side effects will be. I have a 2D mesh connecting the cores to each other (I integrated it with an interface between the core and the memory (dCacheArbiter)). I want all the cores to access all the uncore components, which are on the crossbar network, through core0. Therefore I would like to remove all the crossbar connections except the ones between core0 and the uncore components.
So does the iCache fetch the instructions from the memory through the crossbar network? Because I cannot see any direct connection between the iCache and scratchpad memory (I use scratchpad instead of dCache). Actually I am not sure about where the instructions are stored. In the linker I placed the .text of each core on the address of local scratchpads. (I do baremetal.)
Thanks,
