[ARM] nommu: confirms the CR_V bit in nommu mode
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In nommu mode, the exception vector location depends on the platforms.
Some of the implementations may have some special exception control
forwarding method in their ROM/flash and for some of them has its own
re-mapping mechanism by the h/w.

This patch introduces a special configuration CONFIG_CPU_HIGH_VECTOR which
turns on the CR_V bit in nommu mode. The CR_V bit is turned off by default.
This feature depends on CP15 and does not supported by ARM740.

Say Y here to select high exception vector(0xFFFF0000~).
The exception vector can be vary depending on the platform
design in nommu mode. If your platform needs to select
high exception vector, say Y.
Otherwise or if you are unsure, say N, and the low exception
vector (0x00000000~) will be used.
