Hi All,I am no success in booting up the ARM1176 processor with the linux-2.6.32 kernel.While googling about the ARM Harvard architecture, I came to know that we have to flush/invalidate the D-Cache and I-Cachewhen using the self modifying codes.So here my questions/doubts :1) Is'nt it the kernel itself is self modifying code with lots of function pointers ?If yes, how is synchronization b/w d-cache and i-cache handled in the kernel ?2) Can this be the reason for the kernel not booting for me ?Because If i disable the I-Cache in the config, then the kernel boots up without any issues.Any pointers on this will be of great help.
Here:
read the part on "The Solution" - it describe function pointer on a register, and what u are supposed to do with cache transfer. (java is full of JIT compilation)
Thanks & Best RegardsAshok
