FPGA2HPS Bridge Bandwidth Issue

Hi,

I am trying to use the FPGA2HPS bridge to grab onscreen display frames from the ARM's memory. The FPGA2HPS bridge is set up as 128 bit bus.

I have two VIP Frame Readers:

VFR#1: 1920x1080 (RGBA) with 128 deep FIFO and 64 burst count

VFR#2: 1024x768 (RGBA) with 32 deep FIFO and 16 burst count

The bridge and the VFR avalon busses are clocked at 148.5MHz.

I am getting underflow at the CVO when trying to get frames from the VFR# 1. No issue in getting frames from VFR# 2.

Is the FPGA2HPS bridge bandwidth limited? I was thinking of using the FPGA2SDRAM interface but it seems rather complicated to set up.

Any suggestion on how I can resolve my issue?

Thanks!
