Hi,

I notice slow tftp transfer on mx53qsb and I suspected it could be due
to L2 cache being disabled.

Tried enabling with:

--- a/arch/arm/cpu/armv7/mx5/lowlevel_init.S
+++ b/arch/arm/cpu/armv7/mx5/lowlevel_init.S
@@ -45,6 +45,11 @@
 #endif

        mcr 15, 1, r0, c9, c0, 2
+
+       /* enable L2 cache */
+       mrc 15, 0, r0, c1, c0, 1
+       orr r0, r0, #(1 << 1)    /* enable l2 cache */
+       mcr 15, 0, r0, c1, c0, 1
 .endm /* init_l2cc */

 /* AIPS setup - Only setup MPROTx registers.


,but still see the same low tftp throughput (720 kB/s - on mx28 I see
the double rate).

Any suggestions as to how properly enable L2 cache on mx53?

Thanks,

Fabio Estevam
