problems with Flash by redboot on eCos with NIOS2

There is none :-( -- the volatile keyword has nothing to do with cache. It _may_

however, affect optimizations with respect to memory access (cache or no-cache).

The quick 'n dirty is to use cache bypass (set bit 31 of the address). The "purist"

way is a rewrite. Unfortunately, you may find a rewrite is like peeling an

onion -- it seems like there's always another module that needs a re-write.
