Re: MMU & cache questions on 8240 (kernel 2.4.6)

["Paul Chu (Accusys)" <paulchu@accusys.com.tw>]

Hello:

    Thanks for those who have read my questions. Now I know
what went wrong. Because when MMU is off with cache is
on, all address seems to be cachable, and thus no data output
to my debug port. Sorry for wasting mailing list's space.

Best Regards,
