Hi Benoit,

I'm working on a C project under a Coldfire M5407 development board. I'm
running a 2.4 uClinux on the board. I need to flush the data cache of
the board but after a lot of time spent in researches I still don't know
how to do this, I've seen in the sources some pieces of code for a
system call named cacheflush.
Is this function available for Coldfire ?
if yes how to call a such function ?
if no, is there a way to flush a line of cache on this architecture ?
The cache flush functions on ColdFire in the 2.4.x kernels are crude,
but they are present. If you are calling in kernel then look at the
set of functions in linux-2.4.x/include/asm-m68knommu/pgalloc.h
There is a "cacheflush()" system call, depends on whether your
library code supports it as a direct call. In any case the
kernel code that supports it in 2.4.x is merely a stub - it
doesn't actually do anything. It could be fixed :-)
(See function sys_cacheflush() in
linux-2.4.x/arch/m68knommu/kernel/sys_m68k.c(
