In my code, the device creates an interrupt when a message is to be passed to the host. The message is written in the DMA memory. When I receive that interrupt, is there some sort of flush I should do to update the memory the cpu sees, with the data written by the device? As of right now when I receive the interrupt, then inspect the dma memory it appears as though nothing was written to memory. So at this point I left thinking either the device can't correctly write to the memory, or the memory isn't ready to be read by the host. I am having trouble discovering which case is actually occurring. Jon
