Hi,
I allocate memory in my driver and I passed this address to my HW
register to write to. My question is when the HW done writing (my
driver get notified by an interrupt). How can I flush the cache so
that my driver can see what has been written by the HW?
There are some basic problems in your design.
If you are using external agents like DMA( or any other HW capable of writing to DDR), do not cache Memory.
Because if you do, your processor will cache the memory and will not see the updates done by external agents.
If you want to maintain coherency, allocate memory using dma_allocate_coherent.
Thanks,

Thank you.
