CONFIG_ARM_MPU

ARM MPU Support

Type: bool

Help

MCU implements Memory Protection Unit. Note that NXP MPU as well as ARMv8-M MPU does not require MPU regions to have power-of-two alignment for base address and region size. In addition to the above, ARMv8-M MPU requires the active MPU regions be non-overlapping.

Direct dependencies
