I think I communicated my problem incorrectly. Since this is an optical routing unit there is a lot of data read write that occurs for running applications.
But you aren't running your applications under Linux, not under U-Boot, rigth?
Although the data cache may not contribute significantly to the performance of the boot process, Mr Wei Zhou believes from his past experience that it can help us increase our spead of operation of the kernel, and the applications will run significantly faster. I am new!
And what makes you believe that the D-cache is Linux is not enabled? Of course it is!
I am experimenting but I have a new shipment of hardware on the way that has 4 channels which mean more data read writes which I believe means I will need the d cache.
In Linux the data cache IS ALREADY enabled.
