So, I've increased the data width of the onchip ram to 64 bits and enabled only words/double-words transfers in the DMA.

With this I was able to get 224MB/Sec, a little bit better.

Final update:

The device driver wasn't enabling the double word transfer, with it enabled now I am hitting 324MBytes/Sec.

Hi Aprado,

Would it be possible that you posted your design or possibly email me? I'm trying to do a similar task but I'm having issues with the dma and how it gets controlled by hps.
