I checked the value from Kconfig under /mainboard/asus/m2v-mx_se/
DCACHE_RAM_BASE is 0xcc000
DCACHE_RAM_SIZE is 0x4000
Why does they set to these value? Does them change?
Do they setup by hardware?

I see

i see the copying from CAR to RAM. but I still confused about the value 
of esp. Why is this euqation:
esp = esp - (CONFIG_DCACHE_RAM_BASE + CONFIG_DCACHE_RAM_SIZE)- 
(CONFIG_RAMTOP))

I thought the esp should be: CONFIG_RAMTOP - CONFIG_DCACHE_RAM_SIZE

Thanks!
