Cache Viewer Toolbar Menu

Click the Cache Viewer toolbar menu button (the inverted triangle) to modify the data display. The cache viewer toolbar buttons are alternate ways to implement these control actions.

The following tab;e describes the Cache Viewer toolbar menu options.

Note: Certain toolbar buttons are unavailable (grayed out) if the target hardware does not support their corresponding functions, or if a specific operation can be performed in assembly language and is not supported by the cache viewer.

Table 1. Cache Viewer Toolbar Menu Options
Option	Description
Write	Commit content changes from the cache viewer to the cache registers on the target hardware (if the target hardware supports doing so)
Refresh	Read data from the target hardware and update the cache viewer display
Invalidate	Invalidate the entire contents of the cache
Flush	Flush the entire contents of the cache. This option commits uncommitted data to the next level of the memory hierarchy, then invalidates the data within the cache.
Lock	Lock the cache and prevent the debugger from fetching new lines or discarding current valid lines
Enable	Turn on the cache
Disable LRU	Remove the Least Recently Used (LRU) attribute from the existing display for each cache line
Inverse LRU	Display the inverse of the Least Recently Used attribute for each cache line
Copy Cache	Copy the cache contents to the system clipboard
Export Cache	Export the cache contents to a file
Search	Find an occurrence of a string in the cache lines
Search Again	Find the next occurrence of a string in the cache lines
View Memory	View the corresponding memory for the selected cache lines
Lock Line	Lock the selected cache lines
Invalidate Line	Invalidate the selected cache lines
Flush Line	Flush the entire contents of the selected cache lines
Lock Way	Lock the cache ways specified with the Lock Ways menu command. Locking a cache way means that the data contained in that way must not change. If the cache needs to discard a line, it will not discard locked lines (such as lines explicitly locked, or lines belonging to locked ways).
Unlock Ways	Unlock the cache ways specified with the Lock Ways menu option
Lock Ways	Specify the cache ways on which the Lock Way and Unlock Way menu commands operate.
