8.13.1.3 Data Cache

The data cache attributes set whether GDB will cache target memory. While this generally improves performance by reducing debug protocol overhead, it can lead to incorrect results because GDB does not know about volatile variables or memory mapped device registers.

cache
Enable GDB to cache target memory.
nocache
Disable GDB from caching target memory. This is the default.
