Honored ContributorHi, I use only lightweight bridge for configuring DMAs per Avalon-MM interface. I transfer data from FPGA directly to DDRAM without going to CPU. The CPU only waits for transfer to complete.
If You add "Cyclone V Hard processor system" You can define that You want to have "FPGA-to-HPS SD-RAM interface" available so You get port f2h_sdram0_data in hps component. Then I connect DMAs mm_write/mm_read ports to f2h_sdram0_data.
