AxSIDEBAND[4:0]
The AxSIDEBAND[4:1] signals indicate the bufferable, cacheable, write-through, write-back,
and allocate attributes of the level one memory. AxSIDEBAND[0] indicates the Shared
attribute. Table 8-8 shows the correspondence between the AxSIDEBAND[4:1] encoding and
the TLB cacheable attributes for the Read/Write, Peripheral, and DMA ports.
Table 8-9 shows the correspondence between the ARSIDEBANDI[4:1] encoding and the TLB
cacheable attributes for the Instruction port.
These signals are not part of the AXI protocol and are added for additional information.
