Hi Michael,
Curiously, have any idea how to test cache stuff?

2011/3/18 Michael Spang <mspang at csclub.uwaterloo.ca>:
> If U-Boot is loaded from RAM and the OS is loaded into an overlapping
> region, the instruction cache is not coherent when that OS is started.
> We must therefore invalidate the instruction cache in addition to
> cleaning the data cache.
