4.5 Usage of ATCM from MCU R5F

In the special case of MCU R5F, the core is taken out of reset by the ROM code. This is different than how other cores in the system are booted. The other cores MAIN R5F or DSPs are booted by the software bootloader running on the MCU R5F or the A72.

The ATCM (or TCM-A) is not enabled at power on for the R5F and the ROM code does not explicitly enable it either. The R5 SPL that comes up after the ROM code does not alter the state of the R5F and as such, does not enable the ATCM. This means the ATMC should not be used from the MCU R5F application unless it has been explicitly enabled. For this reason, BTCM is used to store the reset vector in for the MCU R5F firmware.

SBL however, unlike R5 SPL, explicitly enables the ATCM and it can be used if SBL is being used as the bootloader instead of the R5 SPL and u-boot.
