If the Nios® II processor core does not have an instruction cache, the initi instruction performs no operation.

Usage

This instruction is used to initialize the processor’s instruction cache. Immediately after processor reset, use initi to invalidate each line of the instruction cache.

For more information on instruction cache, refer to the Cache and Tightly Coupled Memory chapter of the Nios II Software Developer’s Handbook.
