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-Cache when 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. Thanks & Best Regards Ashok
