Try including csl_cache.h.

Having said that, Agner Fog is extremely grumpy.  I sent him an e-mail
once and his response was curt and rude.
This is written on his web site:
"Please don't mail me with your programming problems. Your mail will
not be answered"
I guess he can have whatever personality he likes as long does good
work. But that means he must do good work. We all get old you know.

If you have structured the memory access patterns correctly there
should be no need to call some function to "pre-load the L2 cache".
For processing large data sets getting the memory access patterns
correct is vital for good performance, it is by far the most important
optimization.  Sadly modern compilers and programming languages wash
their hands of it.
Anyway, if you have not read Agner Fogs information about the matter
you should:
http://www.agner.org/

I presume you are a c or c++ programmer.  You should look into doing
some assembly language.  It is the best way to understand how the
processor actually works and hence how to optimize well.

hi all,
   i need transfer data between SDRAM and L2 to speedding my program.
as we know that we need call function CACHE_wbInvL2 before we call
EDMA functions.

  but when i call CACHE_wbInvL2 as this
  CACHE_wbInvL2((void*)PixBuffer1, 0x0000ca80, CACHE_WAIT);
  i get a mistake from compiler:
   error: identifier "CACHE_WAIT" is undefined.

  my dsp is dm642 of ti. and the head file that i include in my
project is:
  #include <csl.h>
#include <csl_emifa.h>
#include <csl_gpio.h>
#include <csl_irq.h>
#include <csl_chip.h>
#include <csl_dat.h>

lib file include in my project is:
cslDM642.lib, dsp64x.lib, rts6400.lib, img64x.lib
