8.8. Locked access

The AXI protocol specifies that, when a locked transaction occurs, the master must follow the locked transaction with an unlocked transaction to remove the lock of the interconnect. For ARM1156T2F-S processors, this implies that, in the case of an abort received on the read part of a SWP instruction, the Peripheral port or Data port issues a dummy write access with all byte strobes LOW at the same address as the read access and with AWLOCK = 00, normal transaction.
