14 years ago --- Quote Start --- You are using TCP with NIOS CPU, right? --- Quote End --- Yes --- Quote Start --- Try to make NIOS CPU faster. Use higher clock, faster memory, larger cache, etc. --- Quote End --- I already tried to increase clock (from 100MHz to 150MHz), but I got only aboit 10% more throughput. I can't increase the clock anymore, because of the memory. I will try to increase cache, but I don't think it will increase my throughput enough. --- Quote Start --- Then you could try to use UDP instead of TCP. Lastly, you could use hardware streaming instead of TCP/UDP stack. Search for "UDP offload example" --- Quote End --- So you think there is no other possibilites ? Maybe with a DE4 ? I'm afraid that there will be to many errors if I use UDP or hardware streaming instead of TCP. Thank you for your help.
