Custom Logic Integration

[Altera_Forum]

Hey all, 

 I've got some custom logic with memory allocation, that is addressable through a NIOS II avalon entity. When executing code from within uClinux I notice strange behavior when writing to this area. When I carry out a write, I observe (through various probing techniques) a read being issued first. I'm assuming the kernel generates this.  Can someone explain why this would be and if the preceding read can be avoided?  Thanks again for any and all help, Matt

Good flow of traffic lately, so I'll give this one more shot...

Brilliant!!! I changed the address MSB of all my memory accesses through this custom logic to 1 to bypass data cache, and now everything is happy. 

 Thanks Hippo!
