Command Input

Description
This test performs a write/read test on the L2 Cache. This test verifies that
the device can be both accessed and that the L2 Cache Invalidate control
is working. The test flow is as follows:
Turn off the cache. Write an incrementing pattern to memory. Turn on the
cache with WriteBack. Write a decrementing pattern to cache while
invalidating the cache. Flush the cache, which should have no effect.
Verify that the incrementing pattern is still in memory.
