Main SoC

See Kermit.

Cortex A9 MPcore

The custom SoC includes the ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore as its CPU, mounting four little-endian ARM Cortex-A9 processor cores, which is common in modern high performance embedded devices like cell phones and tablets. The PSVita cores have a MIDR value of 0x412FC09A, meaning it is Cortex-A9 r2p10. Indeed there are usage of undocumented CP15 registers.

Implemented Coprocessor registers

Each core includes the following features:

  • L1 Instruction Cache of 32 KiB and Data Cache of 32 KiB
  • Media Processing Engine (MPE) that can execute Advanced SIMD instructions (NEONv1) and Vector Floating-Point v3 instructions (VFPv3)

In addition, there is a L2 cache of 2 MiB shared by all cores, while precisely speaking, it's external to the ARM processor core.

Documentation

A lot of useful information is available about ARM (Advanced RISC Machines) on the internet including ARM Ltd. official site.

  • Refer to the following document for the instruction set, memory model and programmers' model: ARM Architecture Reference Manual ARMv7-A and ARMv7-R edition.
  • Some reserved registers are documented in the Cortex-A9 Errata Notices (r0/r1/r2/r3/r4)
