SRAM Controller
Overview
Static Random Access Memory SRAM is used by devices, such as the CPU, for extra fast memory or as cache.
On the the SRAM is split up into segments, A, B, C, D, NAND and CPU, A - is generally usable ram 48kB CPU caches not mapped to address space and can't be used by any other purpose C,D sections can be mapped over SRAM config but it required for internal hardware caches for VE, NAND, ISP

- ↑ For A20 SRAM_A3_A4_MAP set up for emac by default, so you should change it for make it usable
- ↑ For A20 SRAM_A3_A4_MAP set up for emac by default, so you should change it for make it usable
- ↑ VE must be enabled (AHB gate and VE SCLK)
- ↑ ACE must be enabled (AHB gate and ACE SCLK)
- ↑ Changing bit SRAM_C3_MAP doesn't allow writing to SRAM_C3( as like others there should be need enable ISP/BIST gate and clock but uncheked)
- ↑ Register SRAM_CTL1_CFG needs SRAM_D_MAP set to 0 to allow access
It should be noted, that all accessability tests where done using the u-boot console. It is possible that some secret combination (like emac) needs to be set to actually allow writing.

Initial values
In the 0x01c00000 - 0x01c00fff region, designated as SRAM Register, only a small section here is documented. It can be found using the u-boot console, some other default values. 0x01c00016 = 0x0200 0x01c00026 = 0x0100 0x01c00030 - 0x01c000f0 appears to be 0. 0x01c000100 - 0x1c00fff appears to 'wrap around' and display the same section again, so higher address lines seem to be unmapped.
