+DDR Layout +============ +Entire DDR region splits into two regions. + - Region 1 is at address 0x8000_0000 to 0xffff_ffff. + - Region 2 is at 0x80_8000_0000 to the top of total memory, + for example 16GB, 0x83_ffff_ffff. + +All DDR memory is marked as cache-enabled. + +When MC and Debug server is enabled, they carve 512MB away from the high +end of DDR. For example, if the total DDR is 16GB, it shrinks to 15.5GB +with MC and Debug server enabled. Linux only sees 15.5GB. + +The reserved 512MB layout looks like + + +---------------+ <-- top/end of memory + | 256MB | debug server + +---------------+ + | 256MB | MC + +---------------+ + | ... | + +MC requires the memory to be aligned with 512MB, so even debug server is +not enabled, 512MB is reserved, not 256MB. + Flash Layout ============
