In the V1 patch, I mentioned that the CPU core used in JH8100 is matured, but unfortunately, it did not support the Zicbom extension. JH8100 integrates 'Starlink-500' IP (more information homepage), an in-house designed interconnect between peripherals and CPU to handle cache management operations.
