Ha. It's Broadcom... They're never going to release one.

Huh, so that's why the iPhone 6s's SecureROM memory regions weren't MMU-locked... IOMMU doesn't come in ARM by default! So you have to wire it up yourself (in your own IP blocks), and then hook it up in software everywhere you want it to work.
And all that costs extra developer time -and money.
Heh.
E.g. the Xilinx ZynqMP includes the same Cortex-A53 complex the Raspberry Pi 3 has. They also included CCI-400 coherent interconnect switch to it, and also included the SMMU-500 IOMMU that partially interfaces with the A53 interconnect, but is effectively independently programmed and also controls access to DDR3/4 from the SATA, Displayport and PCIe controllers.
Per the original topic, have they released a full datasheet/reference manual for the Pi 4 SoC yet? I’ve yet to see one other than a VERY high-level overview of it’s new pieces.
