The rumor I've heard is that there's a bug in the system crossbar which makes which core CCX you enable after reset the only choice you can make until the system is fully reset. That is, if you enable the A57 CCX, later enabling the A53 CCX triggers the bug and vis versa, even with the first CCX disabled when enabling the second.
- Kipters 3y agoIf I recall correctly, the "Mariko" revision of the X1 completely removes or disables the A53 cores.
