Hi All
In performance benchmark tools, When we profile read/write timings mostly,
those read/writes are done to cache only.

I want to measure my DDR(RAM chip) performance.
So i want to make sure, every read/write should happen to DDR RAM chip only.
Try below points:
1. I am not sure about snapdragon(is it Qualcomm?) but try
CONFIG_CPU_DCACHE_DISABLE.
2. You are better off programming some DMA master to do large (and
uncached) reads/writes to RAM and timing that.

However simple uncached LDR/STR from the CPU may not be a great
measure of RAM controller perf.

You should always add arm mailing list and please mention the chip set details.
cat /proc/cpuinfo is a great way
How can i achieve this...Any ideas/suggestions...?
