The Cortex A55, designed by ARM, is a 64-bit, quad-core, general-purpose CPU that implements the ARMv8-A instruction set. It provides 31 sets of 64-bit general-purpose registers, a 64-bit program counter, stack pointer, and exception link register. It features L1 cache of 32 KiB each for instructions and data, an L2 cache of 128 KiB, and an L3 cache of 512 KiB. The Cortex A55 supports 64-bit virtual addresses and 48-bit physical addresses, with four privilege modes: unprivileged (EL-0), OS kernel mode (EL-1), Hypervisor mode (EL-2), and monitor mode. It operates in both secure and non-secure worlds.

CPU (Cortex A55) addressing space

This project's hardware supports a 16 GiB address space (with 34 address lines), including 8 GiB for the C chip and 4 GiB each reserved for CPIO-L and CPIO-R. The address space layout is depicted in Figure 2.1:

In the first 4 GiB address space, the initial 3.5 GiB is allocated for the C chip's DRAM, while the remaining 0.5 GiB is reserved for internal C chip devices. The second 4 GiB address space is dedicated to the C chip's DRAM. The third 4 GiB space is reserved for the P chip connected to CPIO-L, and the fourth 4 GiB address space is reserved for the P chip connected to CPIO-R. The C chip has a total of 8 GiB of address space, and each of the two P chips has a 4 GiB address space.
