I think the confusion about flush_cache() is because in include/common.h the prototype for flush_cache() doesn't have names for the paramaeters. It's like this: void flush_cache (unsigned long, unsigned long); However, the invalidate and flush range functions are clearly defined: void flush_dcache_range(unsigned long start, unsigned long stop); void invalidate_dcache_range(unsigned long start, unsigned long stop); I don't know what to do about flush_cache() now that it seems to have conflicting implementations. best regards, Aneesh _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
