16 years agoCF card speed transfer
Hello,
I would like to know what is the maximum speed transfert that I can obtain on the CF card with the altcf ip of ALTERA. Does anybody know if it's possible to change PIO mode ? Thank you in advance.12 Replies

I manage to obtain ~2.5MB/s. However is it possible to obtain a better data rate ?

Doing an appropriate DMA interface in "hardware" might help.

How can you have DMA on altcf : there's two MM Slave : ctl and ide ?
I know that's possible to make a DMA request from SRAM two DDR but how can you do that from DDR to altcf ? Regards, - Altera_Forum

I meant: new "hardware" instead of altcf.
Building a new CF-port hardware processor that includes a state machine and some counters. Maybe using the DMA hardware blocks provided by Altera might be possible instead, but I have no knowledge on that. Of course a completely new Linux device driver for that DMA-CF-port is necessary as a consequence with either way. -Michael - Altera_Forum

Ok thank you...
So I have to translate the OCIDEC core from Wishbone to Avalon. However, do you thank that I will found driver for uClinux to drive my interface ? - Altera_Forum

I suppose there is no Linux-NIOS driver for DMA enabled CF. So you will need to create it.
