Is it "never working" or is it "working sometimes" or "not working under specific conditions"? I have a DA850 based board and I use the Davinci EMAC driver (CONFIG_DRIVER_TI_EMAC). I don't have these CONFIG_SYS_xCACHE_OFF defines in my board config file so I guess D-Cache is enabled. But Ethernet works fine, so what am I missing here? Is D-Cache disabled somewhere else?
