Does DSB(SY) guarantee Write-combined write to be flushed?

pinebud over 4 years ago

I found the following code sequence in our code. Can I know if the following DSB(SY) guarantees that register access (#3) will be executed after contents of #1 flushed to DDR memory?

1: write value to DDR through write-combined memory mapping

2: DSB(SY)

3: direct register access

Thanks,
Owen

AFAIK, (2) does not guarantee the data is written to DDR, it might still be in the cache. If (3) is for example a DMA setup, you need to flush the cache before.
