Memory terminology WIMG and VLE used w/o reference or definition #52

Open wmamills opened 2 years ago

wmamills commented 2 years ago

The reserved memory section uses the terms WIMG and VLE. The WIMG is expanded a bit but VLE is not. I presume these are PowerPC terms. (a quick google reinforces this assumption.) Do these statements only apply to PPC or are we suppose to translate to Arm and RISC-V?

These terms should be in the "definition of terms" and an spec reference included. If PPC terms, clarify how they should be handled for other architectures.

No clue really. I would guess PPC specific too.

Issues tend to just sit here unfixed. Can you propose a patch to address this?

wmamills commented 2 years ago

I can create PRs when I know enough to do it. I am not sure I do in this case. I think it is useful to have the issue even if it sits a while.

I am thinking the spec should be on the agenda of a DTE call.

@glikely you may want to comment on this one also.
