icache problems in I.MX RT1021

[nda]

Hello. I've never used MPU and cache before, so i dont know how to solve problem. 

I'am working with LPSPI and receiving data form external flash: 

base->TCR |= LPSPI_TCR_TXMSK(isTxMask); // start transmission

while (!(base->SR & LPSPI_SR_FCF_MASK)) {}; // waiting for frame transfer has completed
this code doesnot work properly. Some times it works and some time it doesnot. It hangs and i cant even stop the debugger. If i disable icache before waiting it works, but delays are significant. 

This works:

base->TCR |= LPSPI_TCR_TXMSK(isTxMask);

if (SCB_CCR_IC_Msk == (SCB_CCR_IC_Msk & SCB->CCR)){SCB_DisableICache();}
while (!(base->SR & LPSPI_SR_FCF_MASK)) {};
SCB_EnableICache();

Does anybody can explain me, what i am doing wrong?

Hi, 

    I saw that you said: "If i disable icache before waiting it works, but delays are significant."  Does this mean if you add a delay loop,

also can fix your issue? if that, i think that you can test __DSB() __ISB() instead, without the SCB_DisableIcache();

Thank you Crist for your answer.

Your advice does not help.  

I dont know why simple while loop does not work somtimes. Looking for another flag helped me:

while (!(base->SR & LPSPI_SR_RDF_MASK)) {};
