"Question.  Board hangs when the 8260 data cache is enabled. 
 
Answer.  We have found that in some systems, changing the pipline depth to 0 
in the BCR register (BCR[PLDP] = 1) fixes any data cache issues."

I don't know what those "some systems" are, but it seems that on all the 
others the pipeline depth must be set to 1 (BCR[PLDP] = 0). I don't know why, 
and it seems that Freescale doesn't either.
