The SCU connects between one and four cores in a Cortex-A5 MPCore processor to the memory system. The SCU programmers model also includes support for data security using the TrustZone memory model.
The SCU functions are to:
maintain data cache coherency between the cores
initiate L2 AXI memory accesses
arbitrate between cores requesting L2 accesses
manage Accelerator Coherency Port (ACP) accesses.
The SCU is described in:
