Loading MicroEngine code

I am using the vxWorks boot loader to load my test program directly to
the SACore (no OS). Does the boot loader enable the MMU and data
cache (which I believe are disabled at reset)?
I am working on adding the code to disable these (MMU & caches).
However, the behavior I get is that I write to the CSR memory region
and am unable to read back what I wrote. If I understand the side
effects of caching/buffering correctly, I should definately be able to
read what it wrote, but the write may not have propagated to the
device correctly. No?
