The manual says that SRAM C *can* be used by "the system", at boot time,
as long as it's configured correctly. I couldn't find any details on how
to switch clock sources for SRAM C, and the manual stanza on this is
quite gibberish. I presume it's configured either by BROM or by reset
default this way. I think the idea is that the later users (VE, DE) take
ownership at some point (which means we can't run any firmware in there).
The BSP boot0 is 48KB already, so reaching into SRAM C, and the code
itself heavily uses SRAM C (found by hacking boot0 to drop to FEL and
inspecting the memory afterwards).
For C1: I copied this name from the H6 .dtsi, the manual calls this
"VE-SRAM", in both manuals, and the description looks identical there
for both SoCs. I think this will be later used by the video engine, so I
kept it in. The large size made me suspicious, and from former
experiments it looks like being aliased to (parts of) SRAM C.
Maybe some guys with more VE knowledge can shine some light on this?
Cheers,
Andre
