Tilelink GET operation

Hey all
I am new to tilelink. I am currently studying the connection between rocket chip Dcache and tilelink.
In rocket chip data cache, it runs sort of mixs operation TL_UL,TL_UH and TL_UC. I print out some trace.

look at the TL_A, it sent out the same address twice which is 00000380 but got different data from resp. Why is this happen?
kind of burst?

thanks

Presumably the value at that memory location changed between the two reads. Address 0x380 is the debug unit. Presumably the debug interface is being used to control the core in this scenario, so it is expected that the contents of the debug unit change over time.
