Hi Elad,
I've ported eCos to PMC-Sierra MSP8510 which is a MIPS64 based CPU. I would
suggest using a simple MMU setup to have the full control over the cached area.
Simply jumping to 0x8xxxxxxx will work, but you need to setup the cache flags in
the config register.
I've been using eCos on that CPU for year's now and have added nice MMU stuff
like code write protection aso. I can help you with some setup files if you like.
Bye...
