cache content

[dan]

Hi
Is there a way to see the contents of any of the cache memories (i.e. L1 or L2), through a debugger or any other tool?

thanks in advance

Unlikely.

(Maybe there are some MSRs for testing during manufacture, but I doubt there will be a specific mechanism open to the public.)

AFAIK on recent systems the only memory contents that you can "see" are in the L1 cache.
