11.4.1 Addressing the CAM and RAM
For the CAM read or write, and RAM read or write operations you must specify the segment,
index, and word (for the RAM operations). The CAM and RAM operations use the value in the
victim pointer for that segment, so you must ensure that the value is written in the victim
pointer before any CAM or RAM operation.
If the MCR write victim and lockdown base is used, then the victim pointer is incremented
after every CAM read or write, and every RAM read or write. If the MCR write victim is used,
then the victim pointer is only incremented after every CAM read or write. This enables
efficient reading or writing of the CAM and RAM for an entire segment. The write cache victim
and lockdown operations are shown in Table 11-4.
The write cache victim and lockdown base format for Rd is shown in Figure 11-10.

The write cache victim format for Rd is shown in Figure 11-11.

Another cache test register, C15.C, is written with the current victim of the addressed segment
whenever an MCR CAM read is executed. This is intended for use in debug to establish the
value of the current victim pointer of each segment before reading the values of the CAM and
RAM, so that the value can be restored afterwards.
