> - "I decided to leave the XIP cache to do its thing, and select a few small areas of hot code or data to promote to RAM manually"[1]: I understood this as you leaving the XIP cache activated. But this seems at odds with "16K of flash XIP cache, that we’ve talked about, but decided not to use."[also 1], which I'm interpreting as "decided not to make use of the XIP cache (i.e. turn it off)" (maybe I'm misreading). The way I'm reading it, you can disable the XIP cache and use that 16KB of RAM for anything else you want. But the author "decided not to use" it for something else, that is, the 16KB are still being used as cache.
